In Other Words: “I Caught My Son With the Vacuum Cleaner”
This letter is from a recent Dear Prudence column and it makes me uncomfortable. I came home early from work on Friday to the unexpected sound of the vacuum cleaner running in my 12-year-old son’s room. Thinking that perhaps this was a sign of the apocalypse — my son cleaning his room without major nagging on my part — I burst in there and caught him with his pants down and the hose attachment attached to his, well, you know. He froze like a deer in the headlights and, after picking my jaw up off the floor, I mumbled something stupid like “excuse me” and turned around and walked out and hid…
“Should I Visit My Dad’s Ex-Wife?”
“My father died a year and a half ago, and I’m having difficulty deciding how – or whether – to uphold a relationship with my dad’s last wife, “Charlene.”
“His Friends Bore Me to Death. Should I Move Away?”
“I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years now, and the only thing we ever really argue about is when it comes time to hang out with his friends.”
“I’m Worried a Toothless Groomsman Will Ruin Our Wedding”
“My fiancé, “John,” and I are in our early 30s and getting married in two months. John has been friends with his buddy “Justin” for years – since they were kids.”
“We’ve Lost that Lovey-Dovey Feeling”

“It’s Been Two Years and I Still Haven’t Met His Kids”
“We have been dating for two years. He has met my friends, my parents, my children, but I have still not met his daughters whom he gets every other week.”
“Is it Selfish to Leave my Husband of 18 Years?”
I’ve been married for a little over 18 years. It was a very rough start. We were your typical young stupid kids who jumped into marriage. We fought a lot. He would yell and get drunk often, etc., etc. As a few years passed, things would get better, but not completely. After I had our second child, I hated the thought of kissing him, much less having sex with him. As I think back now, I probably had post-partum depression. He used this time to go out till all hours and come home screaming about what a bad wife I was. One particular time (as I will never forget) the fight was…
Your Turn: “Should I Marry Him or Leave Him?”
I’ve answered variations of this letter quite a few times already, so now I’ll let you guys tackle it: I grew up on the East Coast and moved to the West Coast for a two-year master’s program. It was there that I fell in love, and after almost a year of being with the greatest guy I moved with him to another part of the country where he was matched to be for his internal medicine residency program. We will be here for three years, and I have been here for six months so far. The problem is that nearly all my friends and family are on the East Coast, and I…
