Neighborhood frostier amid political divide
me know and I will do my best
to apologize.” His response was,
“I’ll think about it.” That was the
last I heard for a while, but he still
shunned me.
A few months later, he rang my
doorbell and asked us to accept
his apology, saying, “Only God
can judge.” I knew what he meant.
Life is short, the neighborhood
is small and neighbors need each
other, so my wife and I accepted
his “apology.”
Now, months later, he is back
to not acknowledging our exis-
tence. I see him several times a
week. I am happy to continue
“turning the other cheek,” but
with no results so far, both cheeks
are getting red. Any sugges-
DEAR ABBY: My wife and
I share a common driveway with
our neighbors. These neighbors
are keenly aware that my wife
and I do not share their political
views. After the election, one of
them quit speaking to us or even
acknowledging our presence.
After a few months, I
approached him in the shared
driveway and said “Bob, it is
obvious you are not speaking to
me. If I have off ended you, let
substitute 2 tablespoons sweet
pickle relish for the cornichons.

— CURSED IN ARKANSAS
DEAR CURSED: If I read
your letter correctly, you have
been jumping into bed with
women before you fi nd out what
they are all about. Your chances of
fi nding someone to share the rest
of your life with might improve
if you make the eff ort to form
friendships fi rst. Although you
may not fi nd someone who enjoys
all of the activities you mentioned
on your wish list, you might forge
rewarding friendships along the
way and enjoy some of them
together.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a
54-year-old man, blessed with a
good life, family, friends and a
good job for 35 years. I was mar-
ried for six years. The fi rst four
of them were very good. We were
blessed with a sweet, beautiful
daughter. Her mother and I have
been divorced for more than 20
years now.
I’m a decent-looking guy. I’m
kind, honest and fun, and I have
good morals and a sense of humor.
I have dated many women since
the divorce, but most of those rela-
tionships were all about sex. I’m
not complaining, but I’d like to
fi nd that one woman with whom I
could share everything — travel,
dinner, ballgames, concerts, etc.

tions? — FREE THINKER IN
TEXAS
DEAR FREE THINKER:
Stop turning any of your cheeks
in this neighbor’s direction. It’s
a shame that so many relation-
ships have been destroyed in this
country because people were
unwilling to talk with or listen to
each other. Folks on both sides
of the aisle had their reasons for
voting the way they did in the
last presidential election. Those
reasons cannot be understood
unless they are calmly discussed.
Individuals who are not mature
enough to discuss their diff er-
ences are really not worth your
time, so ignore what he’s doing
and go on with your life.
