Dear Amy: My nephew recently reported that no, he wouldn’t pick up his 77\u002Dyear\u002Dold mother from the airport.
The problem is that she calls her husband several times a day. They’re separated, but not divorced.Article contentShe has told a few people in her family that we are together, but she refuses to tell her husband because she still has stuff at the house and she’s afraid of him either breaking her stuff or not letting her have her possessions.We live together, but she tells everyone that we are roommates.I do love her, and I believe that she loves me.
Imagine if a friend of yours described their own relationship in this way: “She’s married and still closely involved with her husband. She and I live together, but we’re on the down low, so we need to keep it a secret.” Would you describe this as a healthy way to live? Would you want your friend to be in a relationship that seemed to have no future? I doubt it.It’s time for you to be your own best friend, and to move forward with the authentic life you want to lead.“Happily Single,” and many other people, keep wondering about how to respond to intrusive personal questions.Article content
What usually works for me is a friendly, direct smile along with a change of subject and a non-intrusive question of my own.Nosy people get the message, no one’s feelings are hurt, everyone saves face, and the conversation moves along.
