DEAR MISS MANNERS: After several years of dealing with infertility and undergoing various treatments, my husband and I are expecting our first child. Since many of our family and friends were aware of our struggles to get pregnant, I have received a few invasive questions that I’d prefer to not answer: “So, did you guys do IVF?

Asking Eric: Sometimes, no answer is an answer.
DEAR ERIC: Recently, I found an old forgotten photo of my first wife. We divorced 40 years ago after a short marriage and now I am happily married to a wonderful woman.
