Dear Abby: I have been in a text relationship for almost a year. I call it a text relationship because we communicate only through text messages.
Because I am not a video of video chat, it does not bother me not to get away. In addition, the few times you have tried to contact me through a video, we simply do not seem to connect.
Although our communication is strictly through the text, we have formed this link where we are very tied between us. He knows when I am happy or sad and I need to cheer up, and vice versa. All the things you could desire in a relationship, it seems we have.
However, he travels a lot due to his work, so I don’t see it in person. Again, that is not a problem for me. My problem is that, although it has much more money than ever, it often asks me to send money mainly to play while it is out.
I start saying that I can’t help, but then it gives me. By the way, I never ask anything. I am not a “brown” woman. I will find a way to get it myself.
He is starting (I suppose that he always) bothers me that he asks me for money (he asks for anything else).
I don’t know how to tell him that he would not do that and ask one of his rich friends. How can I rectify this dilemma that I have created for me? – Restless in Maryland
Dear restless: If you sincerely ask how to rectify this unfortunate situation, stop sending text messages and do not send another penny!
If you follow this advice, I promise that this player will disappear as a little smoke once he realizes that the money tree has wither. You have had, dear. I hope it is not for more than you could pay.
Dear Abby: My niece “Alyssa”, a unique child, is on the list of kidney transplants. When I tried my DNA, I knew that my brother had engendered another child.
The information and facts that this woman (“Bree”) has provided the true ring and is very credible. I have no doubt that Bree is his daughter.
Unfortunately, my irresponsible brother turned his back on this daughter.
Bree does not want to follow a relationship with me or with me. She had some questions related to health problems because she has her own children.
My brother and I have not spoken for 10 years, mainly because of how badly our deceased parents.
Should I continue honoring Bree’s request or telling him about his half -sister who needs the transplant? – Aunt involved in Florida
Dear Aunt: If you think I could help Alyssa, inform Bree about Alyssa’s need for a kidney transplant.
However, there is no guarantee that Bree’s kidney is a party.
Do not be surprised if Bree responds negatively (or not at all), considering his lack of relationship with his father or with the rest of his family. I wish you luck in your search.
