been with and you didn’t live up to it, I can see
why he would be distancing. However, if an un-
derstanding wasn’t in place, then you were free
to be with others and you did nothing wrong.
If Al no longer wants to be with you — for
whatever reason — you have no choice but to
let him go.
masculine. Ignore the snide remarks because
you are not going to change her.
Whether your little boy wants you to con-
tinue painting his nails pink — or, for that mat-
ter, to wear something pink — is far less im-
portant than making sure he knows you love
and support him and it’s OK to be HIMSELF
That’s the way parents raise confident and
successful children.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Al,” and I have
been together for two years off and on. We
dated casually for six months before we decid-
ed to be exclusive. Unbeknownst to him, I was
also sleeping with someone else, “Brandon.”
Al and I had a fight and broke up for a few
months, and during that time I slept with an-
other good friend of mine, “Marc.” When Marc
and I decided it wasn’t serious and moved on,
Al and I got back together.
I didn’t feel obligated to tell Al about it at
the time, since “technically” I did nothing
wrong. But as we became more and more seri-
ous, it occurred to me that it was a lie of omis-
sion, since we interact with both men on a so-
cial level, I told Al, and he isn’t handling it well,
so now I’m at a loss about what to do.
Honesty and time are key, I know, but he is
distancing himself from me. Do I let him go?
Wrong in the East
Dear Wrong: Not all relationships last for-
ever. It’s possible that this one has run its course.
If you and Al had agreed you would both be
abstinent after the separation, he has reason to
be upset. If you had promised each other there
would be an accounting of who each of you had

Dear Abby: Is it wrong to paint my 21/2-
year-old boy’s fingernails when he begs me
to? When I paint my nails (I paint them pink),
my son sees me and insists I paint his toes and
fingers “just like Mommy.”
I see it as all in fun, but my mother-in-law
makes snide comments about him being a boy
and that boys shouldn’t have their nails painted.
My husband has also said I should stop.
I know my son will want me to paint his
nails only a little while longer. It’s not harming
anyone, and I’m sick of all the gender barriers.
Am I wrong here?

Dear Abby: What is your opinion about el-
derly parents who no longer drive having to
pay their children to drive them to appoint-
ments, grocery, etc.? Think of all the times par-
ents drove them when they were growing up.
Returning the Favor
Dear Returning the Favor: Most adult
children with a memory would never dream of
asking to be paid for driving their elderly par-
ents. A child who would do this must be des-
perate for money. In my opinion, because they
are paying for it anyway, the parents should
make other arrangements for transportation.
