The chiropractor offered to adjust my wife, and they disappeared

DEAR ABBY: Recently my wife and I and several other couples were guests in a large house. Among them was a couple who, when introduced, mentioned that the husband was a chiropractor.

The next day, while we were all watching TV, my wife mentioned that she was having neck and arm problems. The chiropractor offered to adjust her neck and back, and they left.

After 30 minutes I started to worry. After an hour, other guests raised their eyebrows.

I checked the house and couldn’t find them, but I didn’t look in bedrooms with closed doors. After 90 minutes I quietly asked his wife where they were, and she said in their bedroom. I asked if she wanted to look at it, and they came out right away.

There was no scene, but I was upset.

I was later told that my attitude about this was ‘inappropriate’. I would appreciate your perspective on the situation.

BEST BLACKED: I don’t think your attitude was inappropriate. You felt awkward because of your wife’s long absence with another man while everyone else was hanging out.

The fact that the chiropractor’s wife knew where her husband and your wife were suggests to me that you had nothing to worry about, but that your feelings were your feelings, and under the circumstances you had a right to be.

DEAR ABBY: I have a terrible relationship with my brother. He has always been demeaning, cruel and emotionally abusive to me.

When my brother attacks, he goes for the jugular. Whenever I have to interact with him, I get so upset that I can’t sleep for days.

My husband and I have decided to cut him out of our lives, but my elderly mother – who lives with us – will not accept that.

When I tell her I can’t see him, she trembles and cries for days. She says family forgives anything and everything, and I just have to bear it. Is that true?

– PAIN IN INDIANA

DEAR PAIN: Of course not!

Stop telegraphing your plans to your mother and stay away from your abuser.

As you do so, remember that dear old mother is responsible for her own feelings, and that her tears and trembling will stop when she gets her way.

You’re an adult. You don’t have to please your mother. And family members don’t have to forgive the unforgivable just because they are blood related.

DEAR ABBY: I have caught a good friend in several lies over the past few years, small and large.

We were close before, but since these lies have piled up, I’ve pulled away. I don’t trust her anymore and I wonder how many more lies there are.
