Dear Abby: My wife goes to dance clubs without me

When I asked why they go to these kinds of places, she said the atmosphere and music are better there.

If the shoe were on the other foot and you were the one out drinking and dancing while she sat at home, she’d probably feel the same way you’re feeling now, unless you had both agreed on an open relationship.

Spouses who treat each other without consideration for the other’s feelings usually wind up divorced, so while there is time to save your marriage, some sessions with a marriage counselor would be a good investment.

Not one member of my husband’s mother’s family (other than my MIL and FIL, whom we live with) acknowledged her death in any way.

There were no phone calls, no sympathy cards, no “I’m sorry for your loss,” Nothing.

Some members of my mother-in-law’s family are now nearing death themselves, and I know I will be expected to go along with my husband, in-laws and their extended family to the various services “out of respect.”

Day and night, their 6-year-old son rides his bike all over the street unsupervised, and darts across without looking.

Should someone go to the parents and tell them their child isn’t safe?

Or is it nobody’s business to scold people on how to raise their children?

[...] while you’re there, warn the parents that some drivers ignore the speed limit while driving down that street, so it’s important they stress to their boy the importance of looking both ways when he’s on his bike.
