Denton Record-Chronicle
Woman in love triangle can’t think straight
Dear Abby: I am a 31-year-
old, never-married mother of
two. Last summer I started hav-
ing an affair with “Jordan,” the
father of my first child. He left
me when our daughter was a
year old and has been engaged
for three years in an on-again,
off-again relationship.
I could give you excuses
about why the affair started up
again, but the truth is we both
knew it was wrong and contin-
ued to do it anyway. I never
stopped loving him and I
thought it would bring him
back to me.
Today I found out from
Jordan’s fiancee that they have
set their wedding date for next
spring. She said they would like
for me to come. As if it would-
n’t be painful enough to go to
the wedding, his fiancee has
also asked me to do her hair for
the occasion. (I’m a hairstylist.)
Abby, Jordan and I are still
having an affair. I want to tell
her, but I don’t want him to
hate me. I believe this wedding
is a big mistake for many rea-
sons, not just the obvious.
Please give me some outside
advice.
Can’t Help Myself in Ohio
Dear
Abby
Dear Can’t Help Myself:
OK, the first thing to do is
wake up, smell the coffee and
accept that resuming the sexu-
al relationship with Jordan
has not had the desired effect.
He will be marrying someone
else.
Next, concentrate on saving
yourself and waste no more of
your time on him — that is, if
you would like a permanent,
monogamous relationship with
someone. Jordan has given you
ample proof that he is inca-
pable of being faithful to one
woman.
And last, tell his fiancee that
you do not plan to attend the
wedding or do her hair because
you are in love with Jordan and
have been sleeping with him
since last summer.
Dear Abby: I have known
my husband for seven years
and I love him very much, but I
am no longer “in love” with
him. Somehow along the way
the spark has fizzled.
We have a wonderful family
and have been through so
much together. I don’t want a
divorce. I want to make our
marriage work, and so does he.
So how do I get my spark back?
Sparkless in Texas
Dear Sparkless: That you
and your husband want your
marriage to work means it is
capable of being resuscitated.
While you didn’t give any
details, it is possible that you
have been “through so much”
that it didn’t allow you to con-
centrate on each other.
Exhaustion and distraction
can cause a spark to fizzle.
A way to reignite it would be
to spend more time alone
together, participate in activities
you both enjoy, and make time
on a regular basis to talk, relax
and touch each other. And if
necessary, enlist the services of a
licensed marriage counselor.
Dear Abby: My sister relin-
quished custody of her kids in a
divorce 30 years ago. I recently
made contact with them to re-
establish lost ties. The contact I
made with the daughter has
been a wonderful success. The
other resulted in complete —
and understandable — rejec-
tion.
Now my sister, who didn’t
want to open the door, blames
me for her heartache because
her son rejected her. Was I
wrong for bringing at least one
of them back into the family?
Sister in the South
Dear Sister: Because you
did it over your sister’s objec-
tions, I think you were. While
the daughter seems interested
in establishing contact — at
least for now — your sister has
now dost” her son twice. And if
the daughter eventually backs
off, your sister will be zero for
two.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also known
as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother, Pauline
Phillips. Write Dear Abby at

Nielsen, Twitter team
to measure TV tweets
Twitter and the TV ratings
firm Nielsen are joining forces
to create a way to measure TV-
related conversation on the
micro-blogging site.
The companies say the new
Nielsen Twitter TV Rating will
be available at the start of the
fall 2013 season.
This new service will be
designed to complement Niel-
sen’s traditional TV ratings, giv-
ing TV networks and advertis-
ers the real-time metrics
required to chart TV audience
social activity. It’s the first-ever
measurement of the total audi-
ence for social TV activity —
both those participating in the
conversation and those who are
exposed to it.
Increasingly, viewers discuss
TV on Twitter, resulting in a
new dynamic between audi-
ences and programming.
