Dear Abby: My best friend, “Sophie,” just became engaged to her longtime boyfriend, “Brian.” I want to be happy for her, but he doesn’t deserve her. She knows it, but she won’t leave.

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to a bonus letters column devoted to your ongoing questions about the coronavirus and its vaccines and boosters. You’ve brought up important and complex topics, and we’ll do our best to provide clear and helpful information.

Dear Abby: I have always been extremely close to my cousins; we even refer to ourselves as sisters. The problem I’m having is with the boyfriend of one of them. They have been dating for almost 10 years.

Cats are cool but, they can be a challenge. I love my two cats. One of my favorite things is watching Mouse sleep in the chair in front of the fireplace. Moo likes to get in bed with me and either sleep next to my head or on my feet.

Dear Abby: I have been with my husband for more than 30 years. We have no kids together, but he has three adult children from a previous marriage. All of them are in their 30s. He and his ex had a bad breakup, and she has never given up on him coming back to her.

Hello, again dear readers, and welcome back to the letters column. We hope that 2022 is treating you well thus far, and that the post-holidays reentry to “normal” life has been painless. You’ve kept our inboxes busy with questions and comments, so let’s get down to work.
