Long-distance relationship may be too much to overcome
DEAR ABBY: My
boyfriend and I have been
together off and on for mote
than two years. We have been
in a long-distance relationship
the entire time. I live m
California, and he lives in the
Midwest. I've been trying to
get him out here because I
have a job I love, and he could
easily get a job in his sector
out here.
His issue is that this area
has ‘too many people and is
too fast-paced* for him. Tm
not sure what to do. I don't
want to quit my job and move
there. Finding a job there
wouldn't be easy since con-
struction is not booming as
much. What do I do? Do I just
give up my job, or keep trying
to convince him to move? Or
should I cut my losses and
start over? — LONG-DIS-
TANCE DATING
DEAR LONG DIS-
TANCE: I don't think you
should give up a job you love
in an environment you enjoy
on die chance that this two-
year relationship might
become permanent If it goes
nowhere, where does that
leave you? It's tune to ask
yourself whether you really
want to tie your future to
someone who prefers a differ-
ent way of life. Once you
answer dial question, you will
know what to do.
DEAR ABBY: My son luts
his master's degree in interna
tional relations, so he travels
to places I will never sec. He's
in Italy now. and he asked me
what I would like for a sou-
venir. I said I wanted his
memories.
I asked him to get a hag
and put in it menus, train tick
ets and bar napkins, and to jot
down at night on hotel sta-
tionery what he did, saw. how
the weather was. I Asked him
to mention anything different
or unusual and collect coast-
ers. valet stubs, anything that
would help him share his
experiences with me when he
gets back.
I said that when we go
through all the stuff, I will get
my vicarious thrill then bet
ter that than some ‘tchotchke*
I'd have to dust (jood idea? -

DA
DEAR PROUD MOM:
Great idea! As the years go
on, those ’memory joggers"
Dear
Abby
will let you both relive the
adventures he's having now,
and they will become increas
ingly precious. I know it from
experience.
DEAR ABBY: I am sure
this issue affects many peo-
ple, but I have not seen it
addressed in your column.
Oftentimes married partners
are separated by many years
in age. Eventually the older of
them has to enter a long-term
care facility due to a men-
tal/physical defect.
Even though the bond and
love that kept them together
over the years still exists, the
younger still has physical and
emotional needs that can no
longer be met by the older
spouse What arc the ethics in
the younger one having a
‘friend with benefits' to
address those needs, if it's
done discreetly without caus
ing embarrassment and
humiliation to the older
spouse? - FRIENDS WITH
BENEFITS
DEAR FRIENDS: This is
a highly personal decision
that mi one can make for any-
one else. While many readers
may disagree, 1 see nothing
wrong with taking care of
yourself as long as you
remember you have a moral
obligation to support your
spouse *'til death do you
part ‘ Tti me that means visit
ing and spending lime with
your spouse every day to
ensure his/her needs arc taken
care of in a compAssionale
and diligent manner, and to let
the person know he or she is
loved.
TO MY JEWISH READ-
ERS: It's lime to hide the
mal/.o again -- Passover
begins at sundown. Happy
Passover, everyone!
