DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were married 21 years ago. Since then, she has admitted to cheating with 10 different men. Each time, I stayed with her, hoping she’d change. I finally left 3 1/2 years ago because I couldn’t take it anymore. She became homeless, but for the past year and a half she has been living with my daughter and me because I saw her on the street one day and she looked terrible.
We are now moving, and my daughter wants her mother to get a job (she’s capable of getting one). My ex refused to get one to help pay the bills. Now I’m faced with another dilemma: Should I let her go on her own or fight for her to stay with us? My daughter is completely against her living with us. My income is limited. I’m on disability for a bad heart. My ex is 43, and I’m 58. Can you please advise? — NOT LOOKING BACK IN COLORADO
DEAR NOT LOOKING BACK: Your daughter is right. You are disabled and on a limited income, and your ex-wife is able-bodied. With her out of there, your expenses will be lower. Nowhere in your letter did you mention that you still love this parasite, nor did you mention whether she has changed her ways. Your responsibility for her ended when the marriage did. Encourage her to reach out to her relatives for a place to stay, or guide her to a shelter. But not only should you let her go, you must find the strength to insist upon it

Usually, I’d agree, but why would they want to promote this message?
I think singer/songwriter John Prine said it best.
‘Dear Abby’
Dear Abby, Dear Abby
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive I’d wish I were dead
Signed, Unhappy
Unhappy, unhappy
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood!
That is how they get their money.
Its highly suspect it is fake, because neither the man, nor Dear Abby, actually addressed the issue of if they are really divorced, or not.
The joke in the radio industry was that the "callers" were sitting in the other booths facing the host, especially if they needed a boost in the ratings.
Most of the extreme callers were frauds.
Dear Cuck. Grow a pair.
Is she an ex or his wife? She can’t be both at the same time.
He likely owes her 18 years back child support.
Perhaps they were, it was somewhat entertaining regardless, I did have a friend whose daughter called and got thru to Dr. Laura one time, her issue was typical of a younger woman, she hated her parents and wanted to know what to do.
“We are now moving, and my daughter wants her mother to get a job…”
With a woman like that, how do you know it’s YOUR daughter?
Get tested.
La da dee La da da
Sorry, there was a thread about 90s music and this just made that pop into my head.
Which thread?
She’s homeless?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence On My VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can’t trust. He cheats so much, I’m not even sure the baby I’m carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It’s getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don’t know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I’ve suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything - and said it would never happen again.
90’s song.
“She’s homeless. La da dee La da da.”
…”I never thought these were true…..”
He’s not a germophobe...
