Dear Abby: I have a crush on a Catholic priest – should I confess it?

Dear Abby: A few years ago, I became acquainted with a Catholic priest after he hired me to teach conversations. (He was visiting from another country; English is not his first language.) We hit him and discovered that we had a lot in common. After the lessons were over, we stayed in touch.

Not long after that, he returned to his native country. Since then, we have emailed and texted regularly, and video-talked about during the holidays. I love my friendship with him, and he seems to feel the same way.

To be honest, however, I have a little oppressed to him. I hoped it would fade, but there is no. I feel guilty of this and I wonder if I am being uninterrupted by not saying. Should I say something and risk ending friendship? Or is it eight to keep these kinds of secrets? – By pressing on the coast

Dear oppressive: As long as your “bit of crush” does not have a negative impact on the rest of your life, I see no reason to load the priest with this secret. However, if it causes an interruption in the relationship you have (ie, with a man or loved one), then talk and prepare for the relationship to slow down, if not ending.

Dear Abby: I recently divorced after a 37-year-old marriage. My boyfriend, “grant”, has been divorced for a long time. He is a beautiful man – honest, intelligent, healthy, useful, neat and an excellent community. Our physical relationship is also great.

My problem? Grant has two small dogs sleeping in bed with him. They were that they were cubs. They are 11 and 13 years old now. I have a large dog sleeping on his bed on the flowers and is not allowed in any furniture. He does not spill. Dogs are all finally accompanied.

I slept on the grant bed once when his dogs were in Kennel and pulled out of the dog hair in the sheets, comforters, etc., even after the sheets were washed. Having dog in bed would ruin my sleep, so if I spend the night, I sleep in the Grant’s guest room. (He does not think it is fair to disrupt his “kids” sleep arrangements after all these years.)

I’m tired of sleeping away, but I don’t feel like giving an ultimatum. Is it right not to want to disrupt dog sleep habits to accommodate me once or twice a week? – Solo sleeping in oregon

Dear Solo Sleeping: I think your boyfriend is right. Because the grant was common to his dogs to sleep on his bed, I don’t think it would be practical to ruin them at this stage of their lives. The night you are in his place, it may make more sense for Grant to spend the night in the guest room with you until his sleeping friends cross the rainbow bridge.
