    Dear Carolyn: I am almost 50 and have been dating by all accounts (especially mine) one of the finest men on the planet for three years. We do virtually all things together, maintain a mutual calendar, have daily interaction, kid celebrations, family events, etc.

  • She says he's ogling; he insists he's not
    Dear Carolyn: My girlfriend claims that I am constantly looking at other women when we are out walking around. She says she catches me wandering whenever a woman walks by me, near me, etc. We live in New York City and there are a million people everywhere. Yes, I look. I look, in a general way, at everyone who comes into my view. It's not as if I am focusing on any one woman.

  • Carolyn Hax: Canceling friendship? Then cancel trip first
    Dear Carolyn: I have been friends with C for over 10 years. More and more, though, I have been getting irritated with her, bored, and generally unhappy when I deal with her. We've been growing apart for years, due to different life choices and viewpoints, and it's gotten to the point where it's a chore to see her. She doesn't have many friends, so is clingy to the ones she does have.

  • Carolyn Hax: Circumventing an adult's 'tantrum'
    Dear Carolyn: What's the difference between a female who's "just venting" vs. having an "adult tantrum"? Seriously. My adult daughter (37) says she's just venting; but on this end, it sure sounds like, feels like, an adult tantrum (with a lot of blame for others thrown in). Help me understand please.
