Dear Ellie: I just heard information I wish I didn’t know. The bad-news bearer was my once-closest friend, all during high-school and university. She was always full of fun and excitement. If something made her laugh or was a challenge she couldn’t resist, she was the first person to skinny-dip in a lake, kiss a guy she didn’t know, go bra-less in a sweater, etc. But today she went too far. Before I realized it, she was telling me about a full-on “fun affair” she’s been having. I hate having listened to it. My “friend” is married to my cousin. I introduced them years ago. They now have a son, age 11, and a daughter, age nine. I feel sick about having listened to how her “boyfriend” is younger than her, earns well, and wants her to travel with him when her kids go to camp. I finally said, “Hey, you’re cheating on members of my family, including the kids!” She laughed it off, saying, it’s “just an adventure.” And she complained about how boring it is to always attend the children’s sports and games, instead of going out at night among adults wanting some laughs and a good time. Should I tell my cousin what his wife disclosed? Or should I keep silent, since I could end up losing both him and my long-time friend?

Dear Ellie: My son’s partner of four years eats with her head almost touching her food, forearms on the table, scooping food into her mouth. We’ve seen her eat with her mouth on the plate. She also picks up food with her hands that would normally be cut, and eaten with utensils. She also chews loudly, with her mouth open.
Our family dinners are becoming extremely tense. We can’t eat out in a restaurant anymore. Any solution?Solution #1 - You and your husband can go out to a restaurant to eat dinner whenever and wherever you choose. You do not have to always eat with your son and his partner.
