Dear Annie:
My wife
and I recently married
after having been
together for 15 years. It
is a second marriage for
both of us. Six years ago,
I discovered that she had
contacted an old friend
from high school through
Facebook. She initially
didn’t mention it to me,
but then finally admitted
she was meeting him
for lunch to catch up on
old times (even though
they barely knew each
other back then). I found
out this happened three
times, though she only
told me about two.
We argued about
this several times and I
believed she had stopped
contacting him. I recently
found out that she is
still in touch with this
man via her cellphone,
email and Facebook. His
messages to her are just
a bit more flirtatious
than those of a platonic
friend and she seems
to enjoy the attention.
Annie, my wife tells me
about all of her friends
except this one. She never
mentions him. I love my
wife, but now suspect
trouble is brewing. She
is on the computer first
thing in the morning and
late at night for hours at
a time. I do not like this
man and she knows it.
The fact that she secretly
contacts him makes me
feel that she is cheating.
I know he wants to
meet her for lunch again.
As far as I know, she
has not agreed to do so,
but if she does, I’m not
sure I can handle it. If
this is truly a platonic
friendship, why is she
hiding it from me? Is
this normal? I know
she reads your column,
so your advice would
be appreciated. — Hurt
and Betrayed in So Cal
Dear Hurt:
If your
wife is contacting
another man secretly, it
is a form of emotional
cheating. She may have
no intention of doing
anything more than
flirting, but hiding the
conversations from
you is upsetting and
undermines your trust,
making you suspect
her motives, all of
which is unhealthy
for your marriage. We
understand that the
flirting makes her feel
young and desirable,
but that should be your
department, not his.
Please communicate
these things to your wife.
The two of you should
clear the air and be
honest about what you
need from each other.
Dear Annie:
I read the
letters from “Growing
Up Way Too Fast,” and
“Mean Mother Award
Winner,” about their
children’s friends who
behaved poorly.
Years ago, when our
sons were young, we
really enjoyed having
our yard as the place
where the kids could
hang out and play. But
we had house rules and
the kids knew them: You
can’t put your hands on
the walls; you have to
take off your shoes when
you enter the house;
and no foul language
or fighting. Anyone
who broke the rules
would be banned from
our yard for a week.
Now these “kids” are 40
and they call me “Dad”
and my wife “Mom.”
They tell us that they
appreciated those rules.
As a matter of fact, when
one of them stops by,
he takes his shoes off
before entering. I think
it is his way of saying
thank you. — Dad

CELEBRITIES BORN ON
THIS DAY:
Seann William Scott,
39; Lena Headey, 42; Gwen
Stefani, 46; Chubby Checker, 74.
Happy Birthday:
Try not to
overanalyze things or implement
ideas that are too grandiose. Keep
your plans simple and precise, and
you will bypass a predicament that
could cost you time, money and
energy. Timing is everything this
year, and uncertainty is something
you want to avoid. Preparation and
organization, as well as being real-
istic, will be your tickets to success.
Your numbers are 3, 12, 21, 23,
30, 34, 41.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Do whatever it takes to raise your
standard of living. Send out your
resume or pick up a part-time job.
Find a way to use your skills in dif-
ferent capacities. Spend time with
someone who motivates you to be
your best. 4 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
If you aren’t happy, do something
about it. Standing around wait-
ing for someone else to make a
move will not bring about positive
change. Expand your interests,
friendships and knowledge, and
you will make headway. 3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Your emotional state of mind will
confuse those around you. Make
a point to say what’s on your mind
and to clarify your feelings. The
less you leave to chance, the better.
Misunderstandings will be diffi-
cult to rectify. 3 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Express your creative talent by
doing something out of the ordi-
nary. Your actions will bring posi-
tive attention. Avoid open discus-
sions with people who are critical
or threatened by the changes you
are making personally or profes-
sionally. 3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get
involved in community events or
gatherings with peers, relatives
or neighbors. What you learn will
change the way you advance on
a home improvement project or
move. A physical improvement
will turn out well. 4 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Work by yourself and you will
accomplish the most. Someone
will try to meddle in your affairs.
Don’t share your feelings or get
involved with someone who has
disappointed you in the past.
Anger is a waste of time. Move
forward. 2 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Try
something new and exciting. The
changes you bring about will help
you see your situation clearly and
give you the strength to reach goals
you never thought possible in the
past. Believe in yourself and make
things happen. 5 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Easy come; easy go. You may want
to help the world, but making
donations and lending to friends
will not bode well in the end.
Concentrate on saving, budget-
ing and protecting your interests.
Charity begins at home, so put
your needs first. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Don’t rely on anyone but your-
self. Take the initiative to tie up
loose ends before you decide to go
out and play. You’ll have a much
better time if you are free and clear
of any responsibilities you owe to
others. 3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Do what feels right or is
best for you. A unique opportu-
nity must be taken advantage of
regardless of what others think
or do. Avoid unpredictable people
and situations and let your heart
and intuition be your guide. 3 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Look over your personal papers
and renew some of the promises
and commitments you’ve made to
the people you love and care about.
There is plenty to be thankful for,
and spending time showing grat-
itude will be rewarding. A gift is
heading your way. 5 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Avoid anyone using emotion-
al manipulation to get you to do
things his or her way. Busy your-
self with creative endeavors and
sharing good times with someone
who accepts you as you are. Keep
life simple and don’t let others
complicate matters. 2 stars
Birthday Baby:
You are
resourceful, smart and motivated.
You are emotional and progressive.
