Annie Lane gives advice.
Dear Annie: You get a lot of letters about people whose partners fell in love with someone else, causing a rift in their partnership. I find a lot of these partners lacked communication, so I thought I’d share my story of what can happen when you just talk.
Since that initial conversation, we’ve continued talking about it. My husband and Ellen are very dear to each other, and I don’t want to rip that from him, so I’ve made it clear that if he’s trying to work through feelings for her, he can and should talk with me about it rather than hide it. I’ve also befriended Ellen since then and made it clear that she can talk to me about anything, too.
Dear Sympathetic: You are a candidate for sainthood, and you are being rewarded with an unusually close relationship with your husband. Thank you for sharing your experience about what honest, compassionate communication can do in a relationship -- especially when you hit a rough patch.

She is a minister's wife and a mother to small children. Due to some unfortunate family circumstances when she was young, she has some emotional scars she's trying to overcome. Sometimes at family gatherings she'll 'explode' and lash out at whoever triggered her. Her outbursts usually take us all by surprise.

Dear Abby: Dinner-and-drinks invite makes teetotaler uneasyDEAR ABBY: My husband, 'Dan,' and I do not consume alcohol, mostly because of our family history. Several years ago while Dan was at a work event, a consultant, 'Ken,' took him and some co-workers out for dinner. Ken ordered a bottle of wine for the table. Not wanting to cause a scene, my husband drank the glass poured for him. Now Ken has invited Dan and me to join him and his wife for an evening out, and he wants to 'meet early for drinks.'
