You didn’t mention whether you and this man love each other or if you are seeing other people, but I’m advising you to leave your options open, because there are no guarantees as far as your boyfriend is concerned. ANXIOUS IN ARIZONAĭEAR ANXIOUS: Because your gentleman friend can never give you a straight answer when you ask what the future holds for the two of you, you are right - you ARE alone. I worry about being alone but, in reality, I am already alone. I can’t wait three more days much less three more years. I have often asked him what the future holds for us, and he can never give me an answer.īecause he doesn’t have retirement benefits, he will have to work until he can get on Medicare. I worry I won’t find that again, but I’m tired of doing things by myself. I have broken up with him several times, but we always get back together. I have a stable job with retirement benefits that I cannot leave. He has looked for a job in my hometown, but never gets an interview, probably because of his age. Other times we don’t see each other for two months. We see each other sometimes once a month for three to five days. He works for a company that takes him all over the country. I can’t guarantee that your mother would advise you to do it but, from my heart, I suggest you do.ĭEAR ABBY: I have been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend for four years. In 1989, Maureen Blumhardt and Charles Barkley decided to take their relationship to the next level by exchanging vows and becoming husband and wife. While I understand why you would be especially sensitive to the question, I think you should answer it honestly. However, I think there’s also an element of fear involved - was this the death of an innocent, or did the person do something to bring it on? Because lung cancer is linked so strongly to smoking and secondhand smoke, people often forget that nonsmokers can get it - including individuals who work around asbestos. People ask this question for a variety of reasons. MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERĭEAR MOTHERLESS: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I would normally call my mother with questions like this. Am I overreacting to this insensitive question, or is there something I’m missing? And is there a better way to answer so that people realize it doesn’t matter? Without answering their rude question, I explain that my mother had a rare, slow-growing type of cancer that afflicts nonsmokers (which is true).
