DEAR ABBY: During my full 40-year marriage, I person wondered if my hubby is bisexual. He met his friend “Ernie” astir nan aforesaid clip he met me. My hubby has ever had female friends arsenic good arsenic Ernie. When he came location late, I’d impeach him of having affairs pinch his female co-workers.
We person stayed together, though location person been a batch of arguments. Years ago, my brother-in-law went golfing pinch my hubby and Ernie. My brother-in-law told maine my problem wasn’t different female — it was a man. When I asked why he thought that, he said my hubby and Ernie were successful their ain small world. He said he wasn’t suspicious of their friendship, but it was conscionable his opinion.
To trim to nan chase, not agelong ago, my hubby and 3 different friends went connected a play trip. There was a king-size furniture successful nan maestro bedroom, a 2nd chamber pinch 2 queen-size beds, and a sofa sleeper. I asked my hubby astir nan sleeping arrangements, and he said 1 slept connected nan couch, 1 successful nan room pinch 2 queen beds, and he and Ernie shared nan king-size bed.
When I asked what nan different guys thought astir nan 2 of them sleeping successful nan aforesaid furniture he yelled, “I don’t attraction what they thought!” I said, “And it appears you don’t attraction what your woman thinks either.”
My hubby has ever said, “There isn’t different woman. You cognize I emotion you.” He has ever denied being bi. He makes maine consciousness for illustration I’m crazy. Please show maine what you think. — FINALLY FED UP IN DELAWARE
DEAR FED UP: For 2 men to stock a furniture erstwhile location is different action is, successful my opinion, questionable. Never having met your husband, I hesitate to authorities whether he is aliases isn’t cheating connected you pinch Ernie. Being bisexual does not make a personification an adulterer. If he were to corroborate your suspicion that he is bisexual, would it alteration your longtime marriage? THAT, my friend, is nan $64,000 question.
DEAR ABBY: I’m judge I americium not unsocial connected this subject. Occasionally, erstwhile I’m successful a restaurant, nan mall, nan market store, etc., I’ll tally into a erstwhile co-worker, erstwhile classmate, personification I met astatine a past gathering, etc., and successful nan moment, I cannot callback their name. This is particularly embarrassing erstwhile my spouse aliases a friend is pinch maine and I can’t present nan person.
Sometimes, erstwhile personification is pinch maine and I spot an acquaintance earlier they spot me, I’ll make a detour to debar nan embarrassment of blanking connected their names. If I’m alone, I person nary problem conversing pinch nan individual moreover if I can’t callback a name. My problem is those embarrassing introductions. Any suggestions? — FORGETFUL IN HAWAII
DEAR FORGETFUL: I agree, it is embarrassing, and it happens to everyone. It happened to maine occasionally erstwhile I was successful my 20s and needed to present my day to someone. There IS a measurement to get astir it, provided you are accelerated enough. If a “senior moment” isn’t thing you are consenting to admit, past shake hands your aged co-worker, friend, etc., and opportunity thing like, “Hi! How nice to spot you!” Then move to your spouse (or friend) and say, “We utilized to activity together,” and fto them present themselves.
