Dear Amy: I want to know how to express my concerns. Or should I just be happy for her?
We’ve lost touch on and off, but we always find our way back, usually when she’s losing a relationship.The last loss was two Christmases ago, when after 10 years together her partner “Benny” called her at work, telling her: “This isn’t working anymore, I’m moving out today.”Advertisement
Dear BFF: Close, intimate, long-time friends get to tell one another the truth, as long as they also accept the possible consequences. After you initiate a thoughtful, non-judgmental conversation and listen to her answers – then you should step back and be happy for her. Any time I mention it, she tends to get annoyed; her response is always that she eats healthy and gets plenty of exercise.I have offered to pay for any good weight loss program, but she always says, “No thanks. I’m fine.” She did agree to have her thyroid tested, and that test was normal.– Concerned Mother
