DEAR ABBY: My best friend, \u0022Laura,\u0022 had an affair with a married man for 20 years. He had been married twice before, and both wives died.
I have an issue with my husband always answering his cellphone when we are out to lunch or out shopping. Instead of letting the call go to voicemail, he insists on picking up and talking for 10 to 15 minutes while I sit there. Ninety-nine percent of the time it’s a friend just wanting to chat.
I asked him, if it’s not an emergency, to tell the person he is busy at the moment and will call back. I think his behaviour is incredibly rude. It makes me feel I’m not important. Am I overreacting, like my husband says? He can’t seem to understand how I feel. — LEFT OUT IN NEW MEXICOYou are not overreacting, and there’s nothing wrong with your communication skills. Your husband does understand how you feel; he simply doesn’t CARE.
If he won’t consider putting his phone on silent mode while lunching or shopping with you, you may have to resort to bringing something with you to read. Find a book on telephone manners or one that allows you to escape — I’m thinking about a paperback with Fabio or some other Adonis on the cover — the wait may be less boring.My daughter and her son’s father split up recently. They were together for 10 years.
