The article features letters from readers seeking advice on personal dilemmas. One concerns a woman uncomfortable meeting a friend's armed ex-husband, highlighting the nuances of legal gun ownership versus personal safety. Dear Abby suggests considering separate meetings to maintain the friendship. Another letter discusses the fallout after a COVID infection during a family trip, revealing anger and hurt feelings. Abby recommends giving the son time to process and reiterating apologies, emphasizing that illness can be inadvertent and should not sever close family ties.
You don't have to sacrifice your longtime friendship with this woman. If you don’t want to see them as a couple, get together with her separately.
What Dear Abby would do is give your son some time to cool off and then reach out and apologize again. He needs to grow up. You didn’t make anyone sick on purpose.
