Ask Maxy

Dear Maxy ,
Is it okay to tell a woman that her husband had a three year affair ? I have ample proff because the 'Other Woman' happens to be a dear friend of mine .
The husband is the most selfish person I have ever met . If it was me , I would absolutely want to know . However , I understand that not all women are like me .
The 'Other Woman' would rather not speak up , although she would tell the truth if asked . However , I believe that ship has sailed . The wife once had suspicions , but her manipulative husband managed to convince her otherwise . So , should I tell her or not ?
Unsure
Dear Unsure ,
Some women can live with the illusion that their husbands are faithful even if they suspect otherwise , but having the truth shoved in their faces makes them angry ... and not with their husband , but with the messenger . You obviously don't like this man and would loved to see him suffer , but the news would mostly hurt his wife . If there is a chance she has contracted an STD from her philandering husband , she should be told ... otherwise stay out of it .

Dear Maxy ,

I have been staying with a person who I think has obsessive-compulsive disorder . She was gracious enough to allow me to stay in her house while I needed to be in her c ity . I've been dealing with some issues and have limited resources . But , it's getting crazy .

If I move a pencil on the desk , she puts it back . If I movethe soap in the bathroom , she's johnny -on-the-spot , puyying it back . I feel like I'm walking on egg-shells . and I don't think it's worth it .

Another friend has offered to let me stay with her , but I don't want to upset the woman who has been so nice to me .

Dear Reluctant Roommate ,

Thank your roommate for her hospitality . Move out and stay where you will feel more at ease .

Dear Maxy ,

I cannot believe the gall of some of the retired people in my area . Some white-haired guy actually tried to muscle his way in front of me in the chec kout line today . My items were already on the belt , and people in front of me were paying when I looked up and this old white-haired guy behind me says , "I'm just going in front of you" ... not , "May I"? or "Would you mind?"

Just because you are retired or old does not give you the right to do whatever you want . You should be offering to let the working people of the world go in front of you . After all , we support your butt by paying Social Security taxes ... something that probably won't exist when I retire .

Shopper

Dear Shopper ,

Feel better now ? Heres my best suggestion ; No one should be rude to others or expect to jump in line . Those who can manage , please try to go at less busy times to banks , post offices and other places that are only open during business hours . The rest of you , please be tolerant .
