Sometimes there were 200 texts in a day. I’m pretty sure she was sexting him, but I can’t prove it. When I confronted him, I discovered he was also having breakfast, lunch and dinner with her and some- times going to her apart- ment for coffee. Even if there was no sex involved, it was wrong. I was sad, angry and devas- tated. We talked about it, and he mentioned some things he needed me to change, and I agreed. He says he never touched her and promised to stop contacting her altogether. Six months later, I found out she was still calling him. They also went shopping together, and she was seen in his car. He still says he didn’t do anything wrong because there was no sex. I am beside myself. I am living with a liar. I love my husband and want to stay married. He says the same, but how can we stay together when he won’t take responsibility for what he has done? My hus- band has always been the most honest person I know, so this is completely out of character for him. He’s also grossly overweight and bald. But he’s financially suc- cessful, and this woman has money problems. Please tell me how to get through to him. -- Want Her Out of Our Lives Dear Want: You assume that this woman is only interested in your bald, over- weight husband because of his money. You could be right. But he is interested in her for other reasons, and that is what you need to address. He is besotted and has no intention of leaving her alone. Even a temporary midlife crisis can damage your marriage permanently. Get some counseling -- with or without him -- and figure out your next step. Dear Annie: My friends and family believe I am wealthy and at times have asked for loans that are never repaid. I am generous with people and have given money when it matters -- once to get a family member into a treatment facility and another time to help some- one who needed to sell their home. My husband and I have saved and invested during our entire marriage, and I am continuing to do so in retire- ment. Now I have money challenges myself and really don’t want to loan money, nor do I enjoy talking about someone else’s financial problems. How can I tell people I don’t want to dis- cuss their bills and would rather have a different con- versation? -- Not Mrs. Gotrocks Dear Mrs.: By saying so and then changing the sub- ject. It’s OK to tell them, “I wish I could help you, but I am no longer in a position to do so. How are the kids?” Dear Annie: Like “No Signature, Please,” I also grew up with an abusive father and a mother who allowed it to happen. I was in counsel- ing for many years, and one counselor put things into per- spective for me. He said I should think of my father as mentally ill. This attitude allowed us to remain in touch for the remainder of his life and per- mitted my children to have a great relationship with him -- one of the best gifts I could have given them. Dad passed away 20 years ago. I can now look back and say that I am glad I was able to forgive him. Now I am responsible for my elderly mother’s care. I sometimes have to remind myself that I am a better person because I am doing my best to protect her, although she never pro- tected me. -- Another No Signature, Please Dear Another: Bless you for choosing to take the high road. You have obviously become a stronger person because of it. Annie’s Mailbox is writ- ten by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime edi- tors of the Ann Landers column.

Annie’s Mailbox www.delphosherald.com WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 2011 If from time to time in the year ahead you get some very strong hunches regarding business or other serious matters, do not treat them with indifference. They will definitely be worthy of further investigatio n. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Not only will companions appreciate your charisma, they will equally welcome your leadership qualities as well. No one will challenge the example you set or mess with your directives. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Friends know that when you are told something in confidence no one will pry it from you. Someone who needs to vent will share private information with you that others won’t hear until much later. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When involved in a group activity, be sure to make the rounds instead of singling out one person for special attention. Converse equally with one and all, and everything will go smoothly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Capricorns can sometimes be extremely single-minded and standoffish or extremely outgoing when necessity demands. This could be one of those days when you’ll have to make a choice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If at all possible, seek endeavors that will enable you to utilize your imagination and creativity. It will encourage you to come up with some ideas that you’ll be proud of. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It might look to others that you’re likely to take things at face value, but actually you won’t be easily deceived. Slick salespersons or con artists won’t find you to be an easy mark at all. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is no excuse for ducking an important decision just because you think it’s overly tricky. If you don’t have the courage to render a judgment call now, you never will. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It’s important to realize that details can be just as important as major factors when rendering a decision. Remember that each small part is essential to the making of the whole. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll get far more out of being with companions who are young in spirit than you will spending time with somber fellows. It’ll be the youthful in mind who will help you feel young at heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It is so wonderful of you to be protective and cherishing of those you love, but be careful not to carry this too far. You must take care to leave your dear ones some breathing space. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your natural ability to read the character of others is exceptionally pronounced. However, a word of caution: Keep your critical evaluations to yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One of your better virtues is your willingness to teach and share your knowledge with others. You could have some real gems of information that’ll save people money. Don’t hold back. COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
