Dear Amy: I was flabbergasted and hurt to the core. To me, this is an emotional affair. Because of my reaction, he has labeled me as lacking self-esteem and accuses me of not trusting him.

Dear Amy: My only friend died over two years ago, and since then I’ve been fooled by women who later turned on me.

Dear Amy: I’m from a very small family. I have one sister and very few cousins. Our dad died and we don’t have any male family members I feel close to.

Dear Amy: My mother (who was a difficult person) originally told me she intended to halve the inheritance between my brother and me when he was still alive, but after he died, she then decided to pass her entire inheritance to me, giving nothing to her grandchildren (who are my brother’s children).

Dear Amy: I believe that my brother is addicted to pot.

Dear Amy: My husband and I, along with a lot of other people our age, have not been able to recover from the pandemic. We are both active 75-year-olds and have been married 55 years.

Your entire household is at risk, writes Amy Dickinson.

Dear Amy: My sister and her new husband just sent an email to our immediate family, more or less berating us for not giving them more — or larger — gifts.

Dear Amy: My brother’s wife has recently been diagnosed with cancer and the outlook is not good.
