A Dear Abby reader expresses concern about frequent dinner invites from a messy friend, whose poor kitchen hygiene gives her pause. Despite efforts to help clean, the friend continues her unsanitary habits. Rather than confront her directly, Dear Abby suggests inviting the friend over for dinner instead or opting for takeout to avoid the uncomfortable situation. The second letter discusses a new romance complicated by distance and the woman’s toxic home life, with the writer expressing a strong desire to support her despite challenges.
In relationships, it’s important to create an environment where both parties feel comfortable, especially when it comes to hygiene or personal space during gatherings.
A true friend should be honest, yet gentle, in addressing uncomfortable truths. If your friend struggles with hygiene, open communication is key.
