DEAR ABBY: I have always been extremely close to my cousins; we even refer to ourselves as sisters. The problem I’m having is with the boyfriend of one of them. They have been dating for almost 10 years.
For the first few years we were all close, and I enjoyed spending time with them. The past three years, however, have been heartbreaking. He’s rude to her and her mother and belittles and ridicules everything she says and does. We all walk on eggshells when he’s around, not to mention he constantly stares at our chests.
Even if they did get engaged, I’d feel sad she’s spending her life with this man. If he treats her like this in front of all of us, what is he doing behind closed doors? My cousin is very prideful and shuts down any criticism. How can I explain to her that I’m worried about her without risking our relationship? -- SCARED FOR HER IN THE EAST
Also, he’ll need to have an important doctor’s appointment for a procedure and he won’t even think about making the call to schedule it. I used to remind him about all these things but, frankly, I’m not his mother. I’m his wife. Please help. -- NOT HIS MOTHER
