Dear Deanna!

I am happily single and really enjoy

annoying me and saying I should
be in a relationship. I am tired o f
them blind-siding me with dates,
hook-ups and single men. I protect

work hard and make my own money.
How do I tel I my family thanks, but
no thanks? —Single and Loving It;

Dear Deanna!
I want to respond to the W rong
G room in W ashington D.C. He was
wrong because if he d idn't want to
marry his girlfriend he should not
have offered a proposal. He was
even wrong to watch her family
spend money when all he had to d o
was open his mouth and stop ev­
erything. She should take him to
court and sue him for the money
spent as well as pain and suffering.

Dear Stacy:
You seem to have all the answers
and it sounds as if y ou’ve been
through the ringer a few tim es with
men. Your points are well taken
although a bitextrem e. Many things
in relationships can be handled with
sim ple com m unication and no need
to mess with the law unless there’s
abuse. His offer to pay the money
back doesn’, right the w rong. How-

Dear James:
You have no business com m enting
on your m other-in-law s implants
nor calling her sexy. This makes it
look as i f you' ve spent ti me look i ng
at her and sizing her up. You wife
has been observing your behavior
and actions in the presence of her
m other and it has made her inse­
cure. If your wife sees her mom as
com petition, she needs to lose
weight, improve her appearance and
work on her own happiness. Your
encouragem ent, coupled with her
self-im provem ent is the solution to
bringing the happiness back and
saving your marriage.
