Dear Eric: I was related to my ex, Yves, for about five years. During this time, we were well out of mind and leaned. Yves finally fantasm me without an explanation, although I can admit that we were not as close as we had been at the beginning of our relationship.
Later, a friend, who is a close relative of Yves, mentioned that Yves was now with someone named Tiffany. The situation took an unexpected turn a few months later when Tiffany called me asking for money. He said he needed help with rent because Yves refused to lend him. Tiffany mentioned that he knew the rich former Yves and that I was looking for my help. When I told her this was not my concern, she argued that since we left with both of us, we should be mutual friends. Yves is a great person, but should Tiffany trust?

Dear loose: Oh, as I wish I could put a billboard in your city that reads “for the love of everything that is good, dear letters writer, please do not give Tiffany as much as at the time of the day.”
Yves did you ghost after five years? Unacceptable. Cruel and immature. And then Yves told his new girlfriend to ask you money? Where are you getting the biliary? Is there a mine in your city?
The basic statement of Tiffany, which you should be friends because you had the same person, does not make sense. And I wonder what he thinks Tiffany has in common in addition to Yves and, wait, money. I think these people are trying to manipulate -you. Don’t leave them.
Dear Eric: As for the letter from “Happy Family”, who was looking for an “attractive comeback” for relatives who ask why/if/if his daughter plans to marry -I suggest that the comeback is “why would you ask?” Put some focus on the intrusion of the question. Regardless of the researcher’s response, a simple “huh” or “I see” ends the conversation.

Dear Return: Love this! Is a great tactic to throw a steefan gloria and turn the [question] around.
