DEAR ABBY: I misplaced my husband in the course of final summer time.

He had an extended sickness with strokes and Alzheimer’s, and he was horrible to me. Out of our total 40 years of marriage, we had solely 4 good ones.

I took care of my husband 24/7 for the final two years of his life.

During the last three years, a gentleman from work would assist with issues round the home that my husband may now not do. He would speak to each of us after which go on his approach.

I noticed this man at work on a regular basis. He misplaced his daughter across the identical time I misplaced my husband. We carpooled and talked lots. I purchased him a tree this 12 months for Christmas with presents (everybody within the vanpool will get presents).

The day after Christmas, we celebrated collectively. We’ve been collectively on daily basis since. He treats me nicely. My youngsters adore him.

My solely hang-up is that as a result of he hasn’t dated for greater than 20 years, he isn’t very affectionate. Aside from that, he’s nice to me. If I point out that I like something, he’ll purchase it for me.

Do I take a person who has a tough time kissing and hugging me as a result of he exhibits affection in different methods, or ought to I transfer on?

I’ve plenty of household, so regardless that I’d be alone, I’d by no means be lonely.

— WONDERING IN THE WEST

DEAR WONDERING: The person you have got been seeing has lots going for him. I don’t know why he isn’t affectionate, and neither, it seems, do you.

Please have a relaxed, simple chat with him. Inform him how terrific you assume he’s, however the truth that he’s not bodily affectionate (describe precisely what you imply by that) is an issue for you.

He could not understand how or not be capable of offer you what you’re in search of, however it could be a disgrace to finish the connection over something that was unsaid.

DEAR ABBY: I’m in my early 30s and coping with an sickness that may kill me.

I’m OK with dying, and I don’t need any therapy. I simply wish to go.

I’ve been coping with suicidal ideas, despair and self-harm for the reason that age of 13.

The issue is my youngsters, husband and shut relations. I don’t wish to inform anybody about this, and I are not looking for sympathy.

I don’t wish to depart my youngsters and husband, however I don’t need them to see me get sick or die. I are not looking for them to cry. I desire to take care of this by myself. Who is aware of? I would make it.

Ought to I inform them what’s happening or depart them hanging?

— CHALLENGED IN OHIO

DEAR CHALLENGED: I’m sorry about your horrifying prognosis. Please don’t depart the individuals who love you hanging.

Your husband will see you rising weak and more and more sick. Your youngsters ought to be ready, in an age-appropriate approach, concerning the modifications you’ll expertise so that they don’t assume it’s their fault.

Do all the things you possibly can to handle this illness, together with speaking to your docs about your psychological well being historical past, and assume constructive, as a result of it’s possible you’ll, certainly, make it. If you happen to do, your loved ones might be stronger for it.
