Dear Annie: I love my wife. We've been married for 11 years, but recently, she hasn't been taking my side with anything involving our 14-year-old son. She tells me that I am overreacting or being stubborn. OK, I know I can be stubborn, but I firmly believe a child should show respect to his parents. Right now, my problem is that I can't do a thing in my own house without asking permission from the 14-year-old.

Say someone calls and he asks me, "Who are you talking to?" Or, if I go outside, he asks, "Where are you going?" When I tell him that I'm the adult, that I don't answer to him, he replies that his mother gets onto me for getting onto him, so I just need to tell him everything. And if I get onto him and yell because I've told him over and over not to do something, then I'm the bad guy because I lost my temper.

I'm just tired of being ignored and disrespected all the time. Anyway, I try to talk to my wife about showing a united front in front of our son, but since he isn't biologically mine -- I just adopted him -- she tells me that she won't because I'm wrong all the time. What should I do? -- Frustrated and Tired Dad and Husband

My boyfriend (24M) is angry that I (22F) wrote a lesbian relationship, and I don’t know what to do.

I love writing stories, and the characters I write are all rather diverse. I‘m also bisexual, and my boyfriend knows this.

Now, recently I began writing a fantasy novel while we were in quarantine together, and I‘m quite far along. My boyfriend is always pretty excited to see me write. He also sometimes asks me, if I have a character which represents him, which I find a bit weird. I normally never write about real people in my story. I just love to create characters from scratch and to let them act in a world entirely fictional. So I always say "oh, those are only fictional characters, they represent no one". ( Read more... )
