... for over a decade, my ex has not been in my life at all. No texting, no following on social media, no mutual friends ... nothing. My problem? Every six months or so, he appears in my dreams.
DEAR AMY: Many years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I dated a guy and fell in love. He broke up with me very abruptly and I was extremely broken-hearted.

How can I get rid of him for good?DEAR STOP HAUNTING: The rational side of your brain understands these long-ago events. One of my best friends attended the entire funeral service, which meant a lot to me. Another best friend didn’t come at all, and expressed her sympathy via text.
