Dear Abby: Wife won’t let me talk to female ex-business partner
Wife won’t let me talk to female ex-business partner
Dear Abby: I recently retired after 26 years of working with a professional partner of the opposite sex.
[...] my wife expects me to cut off all communication with her.
There was never any intimacy or sexual attraction at all, just a friendship established over many years.
Can’t married men have female friends, or am I restricted to only male friends for the rest of my life?
No, I do not think it is reasonable, and the implication is insulting not only to your former working partner but also to you.
[...] unless you can get to the bottom of your wife’s obviously deep insecurity, find a way to reassure her and get her to deal with it, that is exactly what is going to happen.
Why have Baby Boomers failed in the way they raised their children?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question, and frankly, whether the Millennial generation lacks the qualities you listed is a matter of perspective.
If I go away on business, I make sure to provide my travel information such as hotel and flight numbers.
People who are secretive usually have something to hide.
