Several months ago i met a Good looking single Man at an office party. We hit it off Early in the evening. I drank too much and it must have been obvious because he offered to drive me Home. What happened when we got to my apartment was somewhat predictable. We were two unattached sex starved people whose hormones got out of control. He ended up spending the night. Ann neither of us is the Type who normally goes in for one night stands. I Felt ashamed of myself the next morning and we barely spoke. He asked for my work number but he Hasni to called. I still see him at various social functions and he is cordial but Distant. To make matters worse i am very chummy with a Good Friend of his. I done to know if this Friend is aware of our hit and run encounter but now 1 am uneasy in his presence because i suspect he might know. What a Price i paid for a foolish fling. This Man is someone who had i behaved differently could have been a fabulous candidate for the Long haul. In a tempted to ask him to meet me for a cocktail after work. I would then confess that in a ashamed of myself and ask if he has any interest in pretending that night never happened. Yes or no a Phool in Philly today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby i recently spent my first weekend at the Home of my Fiance a parents. A a Harold warned me a not to be shocked that his 14-year-old younger brother a Nicky a sleeps in the same bed with their 50-year-old Mother. Needless to say i was shocked and appalled. 1 have always known that Harold a parents have had a troubled marriage and Haven to shared a bedroom since 1980. Harold mentioned about a month ago that his younger brother a hates sleeping with his Mother a but that she threatens to spank him if he sleeps in his own bedroom. Harold has tried talking to his Mother about this but she is very irrational and suffers from bouts of depression. My Mother does not want me to jeopardize my future relationship by interfering with this situation. 1 have considered placing an Anonymous Call to the department of family and children a services but in a afraid it would want me to make an official statement. If the position were reversed and a 50-year-old Man was forcing his 14-year-old daughter to Steep with him i am sure that Peoples feelings would be different. But child abusers Are not always men. Someone has to consider the interests of Nicky. Wont you please guide me on this Issue really worried in Texas dear Philly Why not you have nothing to lose. Everybody deserves a second Chance.
