Dear Abby: I heard my father-in-law sneak a woman into the basement
Briefly

The article presents three separate letters to 'Dear Abby' encompassing complex relationship challenges. The first letter discusses the dilemma of witnessing potential infidelity while living with in-laws and the risk of family conflict. The second highlights a woman's uncertainty about reconciling with her husband after years of hardship, suggesting counseling before making decisions about their marriage. The last letter addresses the frustration of dealing with unsolicited comments about an injury, emphasizing personal boundaries.

For a leopard to change his spots takes effort. It doesn't happen overnight. Do not go back to your husband before the two of you have had counseling with a licensed marriage and family therapist for one year. If, after that, he has proven that he's capable of change, you can decide then whether there has been too much water under the bridge or you feel safe living with him again.
