Dear Amy: His grandfather feels that since he has married Helen it is disrespectful for his grandson to address her as anything but grandma.

Dear Amy: I want to support her, but it’s stressful for me to keep dealing with her various boyfriends, and I’m tired.

Dear Amy: How can I let our wedding guests know that we really mean “no gifts” without it sounding like fake modesty?

Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I have been together for five years. His late wife was a wonderful woman. They were together for 30 years before her sudden death.

Dear Amy: I volunteer for a nonprofit organization and through this work I met a nice older woman (58) in this group. “Carol” was very nice, but over the past two years, she’s become very attached to me. This makes me uncomfortable.

Dear Amy: I learned that my boyfriend might have cheated on me.

Dear Readers: I appreciate it when people give me “updates” on previously published advice.

Dear Amy: I let my husband know years ago that I would hardly be home when I retired. Rarely do I go out with friends in the evening as we are both happy at home cooking and enjoying TV. My husband doesn’t understand my daytime activities and doesn’t share my interests.

Dear Amy: I know I need to tell my son something about his grandfather, but I don’t know how to do that.

Dear Amy: The answered call always turns into a lengthy conversation — while I’m sitting across from her stirring my soup.
