Comment on: BSO names Andris Nelsons music director, succeeding James Levine - Boston.com

Oh, Meredith, I am so very sorry. I liked your mother the second I met her at Ann Landers. Then I saw her briefly at your book party. Not knowing her, or you well, I remember when she spoke about m more »

Meredith: I rarely rarely check LL these days, but did so just now and am absolutely dismayed about you and your mom. I did meet her, remember, at the Ann Landers play. My thoughts and prayers to ou more »

Comment on: She doesn't want me to be friends with my ex - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Excellent points, these. May I also suggest the writer not date anyone for 3 months. Yes, get used to being on your own for once. You might be surprised at what you learn. Not a great idea to jum more »

Comment on: His family won't meet me - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I kind of agree. For all you know, you represent the "good mother" he doesn't have. A 10 year age difference means nothing at older ages, but he's 24, which is still pretty much an adolescent these more »

Comment on: Friendship after a cheat ... - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Absolutely agree. You shouldn't be "negotiating" with the person who wronged you. The person who wronged you should be bending over backwards to show behavioral change. But back to you: maybe you sh more »

Comment on: The end of a marriage? - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I just read this letter and was sort of amazed that someone in her 30s, married no less, could be so abolutely cavalier and careless about what is, for all intents and purposes a legal commitment. The more »

Comment on: Should I respond to his email? - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I agree with those who say this LW needs continued help for even asking if she should respond. LW, please recite 100 times a day: "I dodged a dangerous bullet." "I dodged a dangerous bullet". Repea more »

Comment on: I changed my mind about him - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I second everyone saying, "ask him out." But I also suggest just being pretty casual about it--refer back to your initial rejection, and eimply say, "I was in a different place then. How would you l more »

Comment on: Cult retro dating book 'The Rules' gets an update - Lifestyle - Boston.com
What a crock. Every suggestion is bad, except maybe the responding to texts too soon. I particularly hate the one about not ever spending money on a date, this isn't 1960, and many women earn a lot more »

I read statements like this: âI donât like getting injections,â she said. âIf everyone else gets it, I wonât need to.â And I just shake my head. Because everybody looks to the next pe more »

Comment on: A breakup at work - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
The ideal, dear LW, would be to get another job. Clearly not possible, so the next best thing is to get real real busy. This guy is occupying too much space in your head, and until you get some psycho more »

Comment on: Sharing a home with my ex - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Dear LW: the real problem is the drama you have created without owning up to it. Every decision that led to the current mess you find yourself in, started with you. And when you write: "I do not mind more »

Comment on: Man gets DUI after driving on AA co-founder's lawn - News - Boston.com
The spirit was willing, but the flesh .............. At least he didn't kill anyone while driving, since he managed to park his car on Bill's lawn. Knowing Bill, he'd just tell the guy to "get honest more »

Comment on: Mediator: Mom didn't like to leave gunman alone - News - Boston.com
This mother does not appear to have had a lot of common sense or to be too stable herself. She knew her son had huge problems, she even home schooled him for a time, she was a gun lover and she took more »

Comment on: Morality issues - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Sweetheart, you and he are not on the same page. But, trying to be kind here, I think you also need to be very realistic about your morals and what they mean in today's dating world. You are very mu more »

Typical Scott Brown. Hold up your finger to the wind, and then tack left and right, hoping you never have to go on record with any vote. hey, maybe he will be 'indisposed' the day of the vote, so h more »

The 19 years resulted in the death of my partner. I was his caregiver and handled his estate. It was the essence of a common law mariage. And, it was yes loving and the essence of a loving committ more »

Comment on: Love after college - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I have a secret for you, LW, given to you from the vantage point of far older age than you. I didn't date much in college. I didn't even date much in my 20's. I only really got started when I was 3 more »

Comment on: The break-up equation - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
LW, you sort of casually drop the fact you're in a new relationship, but spend the other 99% of your letter on the ex. I sort of feel sorry for your new guy--how do you really feel about him? I can't more »

Comment on: His girlfriend wants me gone - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I'm not trying to create a firestorm here, honestly. I guess it's the term "best friend" which implies such a close intimate connection that to me is best reserved for your best female buddy or your s more »
