"Love and Loyalty Tested: Two Readers Turn to Dear Abby for Guidance In a heart-wrenching letter, a woman shares her struggles with a husband who refuses to acknowledge or seek help for his mental health issues. Despite her efforts to support him, she feels frustrated and helpless as he pushes her away. Dear Abby offers a compassionate and insightful response, urging the woman to prioritize her own well-being and consider taking a step back from the relationship. Meanwhile, a friend is at a loss for how to navigate a complicated dynamic with a travel companion. Despite sharing countless adventures, they've started to feel drained and resentful of the other person's constant demands and lack of consideration. Dear Abby provides sage advice on setting boundaries and communicating effectively, helping the friend to find a more balanced and enjoyable way to travel with their companion."


Dear Abby advises a woman whose husband won't get help or accept responsibility for his mental health issues, and someone who has issues going on trips with their friend.
