Navigating the Challenges of an Age-Gap Relationship Focused on Sex

A 22-year-old woman is concerned that her 55-year-old boyfriend is only interested in a sexual relationship and refuses to participate in activities outside the bedroom. Dear Abby advises that both partners need to be willing to make the relationship work, and if he consistently opposes her suggestions, it may be time to move on. In another letter, a woman declines an invitation to her nephew's wedding after the mother of the bride unilaterally decides to place an elderly relative in her room without offering to share costs or discuss arrangements. Dear Abby supports her decision to decline and emphasizes the importance of seeking permission and respecting boundaries. Lastly, a man seeks advice on dealing with his sister's loud and distracting back-seat driving. Dear Abby suggests not allowing her to ride with him to avoid potential accidents.
