Dear Annie, My husband and I have been married for five years. We have a beautiful daughter and a son on the way. But I keep finding my husband on dating websites and in singles chat rooms.
When I confront him about it, he gets angry and says, “It’s been months!” But when I check the browser history, newer websites keep appearing.
He says he never talks to anyone, he just watches. How can I make him understand that I love him and that these sites are not for married people? Should I just give up and end the marriage? I am at a loss. – Taken for granted
Dear Taken: You don’t have to tell him that these sites aren’t for married people. He already knows. He just doesn’t care, or he’s too addicted to the high to stop. Whatever the case, his blatant disregard for your feelings is shocking, and the fact that he’s doing all this while you’re pregnant makes it even worse.
If you both really want to go through this, you’ll need the help of a marriage counselor. If he refuses to leave, it may be time to discreetly talk to a lawyer about your options.
Dear Annie, My son “Rick” and one of his former girlfriends, “Cherie,” had a baby together. I love Cherie and the baby so much, and I am lucky enough to see my grandson every other week. My question now is: How do I introduce Cherie to family members who have never met her?
I’m also not sure how to introduce the woman Rick is currently dating. I don’t really care about her, but they live together. How should I introduce her to the family? – Mum Mom
Dear Mom: Just do it. Introduce Cherie by name and as your grandson’s mother. Introduce Rick’s girlfriend as Rick’s girlfriend, because that’s what she is, whether you like it or not.
