Dear Abby: This year was the 50th reunion of our high school class. My husband and I graduated together in the same school. We have participated in every reunion, and in each of them we received the same reactions from classmates. They always talk to my husband, shake hand or hug her, but look at my name and photo and ignore me as they did in high school.
I will be the first to admit that I am nothing to see. The only people who spoke to me were my teachers and my husband. I tried very much to be social, but my classmates just looked at me and left. One even told a group of students, “The dog tried to talk to me.”
My husband and I recently celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary, so I asked him why he dated and married me when I was invisible to his classmates and friends. He replied, “It’s all in your head!” He has seen reactions from collaborators and classmates, however she has never disturbed what I have never been accepted.
It hurts so badly that I finally told him that I would not participate more reunions because I thought after 50 years, our classmates should have grown up. He told me I was paranoid. It has never been in my head, Abby, especially when I last a hand and tell the classmate that it is best to see them, only for them to leave. What is your opinion on this? – Really invisible in Minnesota
Really dearly invisible: I can’t believe you have tolerated this for 50 years. My opinion is that your former classmates lack class and compassion, and your husband is no better than they have ignored their rudeness. For the sake of paradise, fit yourself when that reunion revolves again. Skip and do something that you I would enjoy!
Dear Abby: I’ve been meeting a boy for 10 years. We are both unintentionally divorced to marry. We are satisfied with our living arrangements. We live in different cities for an hour and a half away and spend a considerable time together in each other’s homes.
A single woman lives some houses below him, and they are friends. Their is a very small, isolated lake city. When I’m not around, they have a random drink together. He says it doesn’t happen often. I’m never officially introduced to her.
I have told him I am uncomfortable with this and I asked them to stop. I even stuck that he invites him when I am there. Your thoughts? – Suspicious in Alberta, Canada
Darling suspicious: My opinion is that after 10 years, it’s time to meet the competition if there is any competition. The next time you are in that “Little Lake, isolated city” invite it to fall, so you can finally know it. Her reaction (and this guy) will tell you everything you need to know. (If they react like two sculptured cats, you may have reason to feel suspicious.)
