Dear Abby
would have been 108 today
July 4th, 1918 — January 16th, 2013Dear Abby,
I think my husband is cheating on me. I keep finding little clues around the house - hotel keys, receipts for restaurants we've never been to, that sort of thing. I feel guilty even thinking it, but I have to know. Should I approach him and just ask? Or should I spy on him to find out? -- BETRAYED IN BALTIMORE
Dear Betrayed -
