My high school hookup wants me to leave my husband…

He has tried to attain me over the years. If I used to be married, he was single. After my first husband died, I did meet up with him briefly. I suppose I shouldn’t have completed that. I requested him if he needed to date, but he was married. (His marriage didn’t final long.) Then he was upset that I met a fantastic man and was relationship.
That fantastic man and I are now married, and my outdated high school hookup is pouting and upset. He’s declaring his love for me and insisting that I leave my husband for him. I’m not going to do that. Is the actual fact that he’s still in love with me after 30 years romantic or creepy? — GOT HISTORY IN TEXAS
DEAR GOT HISTORY: It seems your outdated high school hookup hasn’t grown emotionally since those days. What goes on in his head isn’t romantic; it’s disrespectful.

After that, if crucial, block him.
DEAR ABBY: My son and daughter-in-law had their first youngster three months in the past. This was the first grandchild on both sides. Her mom stayed with her for two weeks after the cesarean delivery. I’ve no points with that.
My challenge is, my son instructed me I needed to leave when they and the infant got here home from the hospital. Mind you, I dwell 6 1/2 hours away. I fought him to get at least three days when they bought home. Then he stated I needed to leave, but he never instructed his father-in-law to leave. Also, on the times I did keep, they requested me to get a motel while her mother and father stayed with them. I only bought to go over during the day.
When I instructed my son my emotions have been damage, he stated I used to be being a drama queen. I did respect every part they requested. I just need to know if I used to be incorrect for sharing my emotions or ought to I’ve remained quiet. It has triggered friction between us now. — SECOND-CLASS IN TENNESSEE
