Dear Abby: It’s not fair that this became a ‘girl thing’
I was given no warning that she planned to do this, and all the tickets were all sold out when I went online and looked — not that I would’ve gone anyhow. It would’ve been pushing my way in where I felt I wasn’t wanted.
How should I handle this? I know my husband is struggling with it, and I’d like to talk to him about it. I feel like he’s being put in the middle and feels he must go because his daughter bought the ticket.
Should he not go and make his daughter mad, or go and make me mad? How would you handle this? What should I say to my husband so I’m not the bad guy?

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Will,” and I have been together for seven years. We get along great.
I love his close-knit family and adore his parents. He’s the youngest of five brothers, most of whom I get along with great.
The only brother I don’t know is the oldest. “Rick” has been incarcerated for the better part of 30 years for rape. I’ve always known about him and the “sugar-coated” circumstances surrounding his incarceration.

Upon hearing this, I did some research, and I found the non-sugar-coated details of his crimes.
Will has made clear to me he will support his brother’s release and is excited to see him. This is the same feeling most of the other family has.
