He says it’s ‘no big deal,’ but I think his wife has the right to know.
You have advised Todd, and he has refused. Respect his decision. Do not go behind his back and divulge this information to his wife or you may damage beyond repair the relationship you have with your son.I’m a 24-year-old male. I’ve been seeing this guy, “Kurt,” for four years. He moved to New York to be with me. He’s 17 years older than I am.When I went to meet his family in the Midwest, they treated me horribly. My dad was ill, so I came back home.
I want him back, and I’m also scared to be alone. I have talked to other men online and searched for the love and companionship I no longer have with Kurt. We don’t do anything together anymore, and our relationship has been failing for a long time. How do I tell him I want out of the relationship and think we lost our spark a long time ago? How do I get out of the rut I’m in because I’m scared to end the relationship?At 24, your chances of finding love again are probably better than your 40-year-old partner’s. I don’t know how long you have been living in the rut you described, but life is short. Do not waste more time than you already have on Kurt, who may be as relieved as you to see this romance come to an end.
Break the news by telling him calmly that you feel your relationship has been failing for a long time, the spark fizzled out a long time ago and you are calling it quits. Follow it up by saying you hope you will always be “friends,” and move on.

Dear Abby: Mother eager to reveal truth of son’s parentageDEAR ABBY: Thirty-two years ago I was seeing two different men. I slept with each of them in the same week and became pregnant. I told them midway through the pregnancy that the baby might be theirs. One ditched me. I never heard from him again. The other is my husband of 31 years. We went on to have two more children.

Dear Annie: Narcissism is spanning generationsDear Annie: I love your column and the advice you give. I never thought I’d be sending a letter to you. My oldest daughter has given me a nudge, and I’m writing this while at her house. The problem is with “Alice,” the middle of my three daughters. She has always been difficult and quick to anger.
