Q: Some friends of ours get together monthly for dinner parties. We take turns hosting, and we’ve been doing this for years. During the last dinner, at our home, I saw a friend poke her husband with her elbow while I was speaking. I didn’t think anything of it — until I saw her do it two more times when I was talking that night. I became self-conscious and quieter for the rest of the evening. I’ve been depressed lately about my husband’s declining health, so I may have been talking too much.

Q: My girlfriend and I have been together for seven years. We were both married with children when we met, had an affair and left our marriages to be together. We are very much in love, but she hides me from her family and friends. I have never met her children (13 and 10), and I’ve been asked to leave her house hurriedly when they are coming over. I haven’t met many of her friends, either. I’ve told her how much this hurts me. It’s our biggest source of conflict. But she says she prefers it this way.

I didn't think anything of it - until I saw her do it two more times when I was talking that night.

What should you do when gossip gets you into trouble? Photo / Getty ImagesA reader is frustrated to be on the outs with her friend and their roommates after telling them about her friend’s hookups with another friend’s ex. Q: One of my roommates began secretly sleeping with the ex-boyfriend of a good friend. The breakup was five months ago, but my roommate started talking to him right away. I accidentally let it slip to someone, and then, out of guilt, told all my roommates about the affair.

Why are my parents handling my younger sister's college costs so differently than mine? I had to go to a state school and take out a small loan. She doesn't have to do either! https://t.co/IWM5ReKtYi
Why did my wife's sister confess to taking her clothes 50 years later? It's caused great heartache. (Really? I thought all siblings filched each other's clothes, no?) https://t.co/NOTsytawJS
Is it disrespectful to my dead father to speak to his estranged brother? They were on the outs for 40 years, but I have no idea why. https://t.co/6PTNUJSp1o
