I get comments such as, "Hey, how's that degree working for you?" and "Are you ever going to use your degree?" and "Do you regret going to law school?" I find it really annoying. My problem is, some family members - and a few acquaintances - seem to think me almost a novelty. My parents didn't help me with law school tuition, nor am I saddled with debt. I am fine with it, and I really do not aspire to be in the field of law. I didn't pass the bar, and I now have a non-law-related job. If you do, you may be able to agree on some sort of schedule.ĭear Abby: I graduated from law school several years ago. If you haven't discussed this with your neighbor, you should. He may think you are doing this as part of your deal with the landlord. How should we handle this without coming off as nagging or rude? - Peeved in Portland, Ore.ĭear Peeved: Your neighbor isn't a mind-reader. Not once has he bothered to roll out these carts that he uses as well. Currently, there is only one other tenant living here, a man who has been here for more than a year. However, lately we've been finding ourselves the only ones doing our part.Įvery Sunday evening, we roll out the garbage, recycling and compost bins for the Monday morning pickup. We try to be good neighbors and do our part keeping up with our neighborly duties. Sometimes it's safer to love someone from a distance, and this may be one of them.ĭear Abby: We live in the downstairs apartment of an old Victorian house that has been converted into three separate apartments. Whatever it was, because your ex still seems to regard you as "the enemy," in spite of the fact that you have helped her financially and emotionally, I don't think what you have in mind is feasible. Should I ask her to dinner or just let things be? - Still Lovin’ My Exĭear Still Lovin': I wish you had mentioned what destroyed your marriage 26 years ago. The problem is, she still seems to regard me as "the enemy." She will speak to me, but it's just bare-bones conversation. I became available again myself about 18 months ago, so I have been considering inviting her to dinner to help her relax and give her someone to talk to other than family. I have helped her financially and emotionally through a couple of stressful situations in the interim due to her second husband. My ex-wife has now permanently separated from her second husband. I have been engaged a couple of times since, but never made it back to the altar. Dear Abby: I have been divorced for 26 years.
