DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who lost my domestic partner five years ago. My neighbor is a single father of a 12-year-old son. When I first met him, he told me he once had a domestic partner. He talks openly about his personal life (he was married to a woman before living with his son’s mother). 

He does small jobs at my house, and I have taken him and his son out to dinner. He writes messages to me about three times a week, and he told me he plans to have me to dinner soon. He treats me...

Dear Abby: How can I tell if my neighbor is coming on to me?

LAPORTE COUNTY, Ind. — A South Bend woman is facing serious charges after allegedly smuggling marijuana into the Indiana State Prison on Michigan City's west side. According to court documents, 38-year-old Janise Clark was apprehended on Sunday while reporting for her shift as a correctional officer. A fellow staff member noticed her plastic-wrapped sandwich looked suspicious, prompting further inspection. When the sandwich was placed in an X-Ray machine, it revealed two vacuum-sealed plastic bags containing nearly a half pound of marijuana hidden between the slices of bread.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been dating a divorced man, “Mitch,” for nine years. We’ve been living together for the last two. He has a daughter and a grandson. Recently, while I was out of town for a week, he participated in the annual “family photo shoot” with his arm around his ex-wife as if they were one big happy family. 

I feel betrayed by Mitch and his daughter. His excuse is that the photographer was unaware of the family history. The ex recently dumped the man she cheated on Mitch with, so her intentions might be questionable. Should I ask him to...

While Dr. Raven Baxter was in escrow, the seller allegedly told the broker “she doesn’t want to sell the home to you, and it’s because you’re Black.”. Dr. Raven Baxter is an accomplished molecular biologist and was ecstatic when she found her dream home, a condo in Virginia Beach on a hill near the ocean. Priced at just under $750,000 it was within Baxter’s budget, and she submitted a down payment after her offer was accepted. But then there was a glitch during the escrow process.

DEAR ABBY: I met a man, and we started seeing each other, but I’m not really sure about him. He’s a cross-dresser. I have tried to accept it, but I honestly don’t think I can. It turns me off. I don’t find it attractive, and I don’t know if I could ever be OK with it. 

I don’t know how to tell him. I don’t want to hurt him, but I just can’t bring myself to be sensual with him. What’s the best way to explain this without hurting his feelings? I don’t want to lose his friendship. — NOT MY...

DEAR ABBY: For a long time, I thought I was unable to have children. My doctors told me it would be a difficult process and my chances were low due to chronic illnesses I live with. I have accepted this fact, because having a family was the reason I divorced in my late 20s. My ex didn’t want it, and I did, though I didn’t yet know I was likely infertile. Learning this afterward was devastating, but I pivoted into recovery with grit and faith.
