Dear
Eleanor:
I am a female
Uber driver in Rugmunch, Ky. Re-
cently I picked up a male customer at his home. He
sweetly kissed his wife and children and
said good-
bye, and
off we went. After a few miles,
he asked
me to make a stop. I pulled up to a
house, and a wo-
man got in the car. They kissed, and
she said,, "I
missed you. When are you leaving her?"
I was furious
to discover he was obviously having an
affair. I dropped them off at a hotel in
town. I feel
obligated to
go back to his house and tell his wife a-
bout this
affair. WWED? (What would Eleanor
do?)
Uber Pissed
Dear Upiss:
Don't bother. She already
knows. She's the one who
called Uber for her husband's
ride. She wanted to get
rid of him for the day
so she could have her boy friend
over to the house.

Dear
Eleanor:
My ex-wife, "Jenny,"
and I were together seven years,
and married for almost five. We have a
child. We've
been divorced
for eight months. I've been trying to
reconcile with
her because she's the love of my life
and I want our family to be
together.
The problem is
that since we separated she has been
seeing my
ex-best friend, "Mack," who was the best
man at our wedding. I was crushed
when I found out.
I have tried to show Jenny
that Mack is a manipula-
tor and a liar
and that he hasn't been honest with her.
I know that I
am clearly the best man for Jenny, our
son
and our family. However, she continues to see
Mack even after his true colors
have been shown and
after I have done everything to
make things right with
us. How should I proceed?
Righting
a Wrong
Dear Righteous:
Wait a
minute! In your second paragraph you said Mack
was the best
man. In your third paragraph, you said you
are. Make up your alleged mind! And say
good-bye to
things
and people who are gone.

Dear
Eleanor:
I've been married a little over a year. I love my wife.
But shortly before our wedding I met a co-worker I'-
ll call Alexis. We hit it
off and I consider her a close
friend. She and I
hooked up a few times before and
after my
wedding. We never discuss the encounters
after they
happen. After we've had a few drinks, we
say things about being together
but mostly we're just
best friends.
While my
friends believe this is odd its almost a bles-
sing
that the awkward conversation doesn’t happen
after a night
of something happening. There've been
instances when I've ditched my wife to hang out with
Alexis – not to do anything
but just to hang out with
her and her
mother. My wife says I spend too much
time with Alexis between
work and after work, but
she's fun to
be with. My wife is kind of a homebody.
She doesn't like to go out and
have a good time.
My wife doesn’t trust Alexis, and
while I can’t blame her,
I’m conflicted about what my
next step should be. I love
my wife, but I also love Alexis as more than a friend; and
I know she feels the
same. What should I do next?
Love
Them Both
Dear
Lover Lad:
What a creep you
are. You're like the guys that made Re-
no famous. Make up your
alleged mind, and give your wife
the first option.

Dear
Eleanor:
I became engaged to a
wonderful man five months ago.
We have set a wedding date for next
year. I'm ecstatic
– thrilled to
be planning such an important milestone in
my life.
I’m the youngest of five girls. Four of us are
extremely
close. Three of my sisters have graciously of-
fered to help with the wedding
planning and preparation.
I have
included them in my bridal party – matron of hon-
or,
two bridesmaids, and two teen-age nieces as junior
bridesmaids.
But there's an
issue: My parents and two of my sisters in-
sist that I
include my oldest sister, Iris, in my bridal party
even though
she is mentally ill (with schizophrenia). She
is medicated
but still speaks to her "voices." I love her,
but I find it inappropriate to include her in my
wedding.
My matron of
honor is supportive and agrees it would be
unwise. However, my remaining family is guilt-tripping
me because
Iris missed out on two sisters' weddings when
in a
psychiatric facility. She lives with our retired parents
now and
requires care and supervision. Am I wrong for
not wanting to risk including her on my big day?

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:
Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this
inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET
THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"
But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate
the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and
without that
redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines or
you'll keep
getting this shit! ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.
We have a spe-
cial filter to detect that.)
