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.

A Tabloid Headlines editorial:
Our primary source of tabloid headlines is  the  Kroger  super-
market on the U.S. 31-W Bypass in Bowling Green, Ky.;  but
for the last two weeks there have been no  new  issues  of tab-
loid newspapers there.   This  explains  our recent reliance on
the Borowitz Report and the Onion, both on line – and on on-
line presentations of  the  National  Enquirer  and  the  Globe.
Please energize your local grocery stores.

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?

                                                                                 Future Bride in Kentucky
Dear Bridey-Be:
                               Yes.
