Brownwood Bulletin 3
Guest marks his territory, but in the wrong bathroom
DEAR ABBY: My husband has a
male co-worker, “Bo,” who comes
to our house occasionally. We
have two bathrooms, one of which
is in our bedroom. The other is
the guest bathroom.
When Bo needs to use the rest-
room, he goes into our bedroom
and uses ours. EEe never asks;
he just goes in, even after I have
pointed out the guest bathroom.
It creeps me out. I feel like he’s
invading my personal space, and I
think it’s rude.
What can I do, since pointing
out the guest bathroom hasn’t
worked? Bo is intimidating. EEe
thinks he can do whatever he
wants. Please tell me what I can
do. — GREETED OUT IN GREEN-
VILLE
DEAR CREEPED OUT: I agree
your husband’s co-worker’s be-
havior is creepy.
If you have
medications in
your bathroom,
you should check
to be sure he isn’t
helping himself
to some of them
when he visits.
Because you
can’t seem to
convey the mes-
sage to “Bo the
Boor,” before his
next visit, ask
your husband to
tell him that guests are supposed
to use the guest bathroom. And
if that doesn’t discourage him,
install a lock on your bedroom
door.
DEAR ABBY: My 21-year-old
daughter, “Alex,” and her 6-year-
DEAR ABBY
Abigail Van
Buren
old moved into an apartment with
her 18-year-old boyfriend. We had
a tough time accepting this, but I
make do because I love Alex and
want to be part of her life.
My boyfriend of eight years,
“Niles,” can’t accept my daughter’s
new boyfriend. We were invited
over for dinner and Niles refused
to go.
How do I handle this? I feel all
future events will be strained and
I’ll be forced to choose between
my daughter and Niles. Please
advise.— SAD MOTHER IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR SAD MOTHER: Tell Niles
that if you must choose between
him and your daughter, you
will choose your daughter. Her
romance may -- or may not -- last
forever, but your relationship
with her will. There is nothing
to be gained by punishing her
and alienating her young man. If
Niles has a problem with that, do
not let him make it your prob-
lem, too. Continue your relation-
ship with your daughter and see
Niles separately.
DEAR ABBY: Today is my 50th
birthday. I’m a person with a few
close friends, but I’m not widely
social.
The members of my book club
knew it was my birthday when
we met a few days ago. I had
mentioned it before our meeting.
Nothing was said when we met.
My best friend is going on vaca-
tion and hasn’t remembered. My
husband asked me what plans I
had made for us to do today. My
sister, bless her, has been wonder-
ful and feels responsible to try to
make this day special for me.
Is it really my job to plan a
celebration and remind everyone
I’m close to? I have talked enough
about how important this particu-
lar birthday is to me. I’m hurt that
no one feels I’m worth the effort.
Am I making too big a deal out of
this? — VEXED IN VERMONT
DEAR VEXED: I think so. My
dear mother used to say, “If you
want something done right, do
it yourselP” That’s good advice
when those around you are too
preoccupied to be as nurturing
as you would like them to be.
