Dear Abby: My husband thinks I’ll cheat because my dad did

How can I get my husband to stop putting me in the same category as my father?

Dear Not Like Dear Old Dad: I don’t know where your husband “read” that adultery is hereditary, but it’s time you asked to see the source of his misinformation because it’s wrong.

If you are accused of infidelity any time there’s a disagreement, you two aren’t getting to the root of what’s really wrong in your marriage, and it’s time to get professional marriage counseling.

If “Pseudo Auntie” does not want to socialize with the people she has been invited to be with, she should stay home.

Dear Offended: I agree with you that “Pseudo Auntie’s” behavior was rude, and I don’t blame you for feeling upset about it.

I do not think that it should cause a rift if you were to tell your brother-in-law and his girlfriend that using her cell phone during the dinner you worked so hard to prepare, and during your daughter’s violin recital, caused hurt feelings.

[...] tell them that in the future you would like her to leave her phone elsewhere during family gatherings in your home.
