Eager to know about wife’s past
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Eric,” and I are newlyweds. Several months ago, with a little coaxing, I shared my previous “history” with him. I used graphic terms and went into great detail. Eric found it extremely exciting, and we both benefited from it. Recently, Eric mentioned how great it would be if I contacted one of my past lovers to push the envelope of passion even further. I agreed. My dinner date with the old flame was actually quite fun, with talk of the past. Eric thrilled at my description of the “date.” His suggestion that I go out with my old beau and “enjoy myself” as I had when I was single, however, left me hurt and somewhat uncomfortable. Eric hinted that a new “story” would take things to another level. He’s completely OK with it, not at all jealous. I said I wasn’t sure, but I’d consider it. What do you think? -MRS. R. IN ILLINOIS DEAR MRS. R.: Some “envelopes” should remain sealed. Think long and hard before embarking on the path toward which your husband is leading you. Is this really the kind of marriage you signed up for? How would you feel about Eric looking up old flames and reporting back to you? Frankly, I think you’re being pushed in the wrong direction. The result could very well be that you end up feeling used and degraded.
Dear Abby Abigail van Buren
DEAR ABBY: I want to help my son and grandchildren. His current wife moved out, taking their two little ones with her. His other three children from his first wife still live with him. They are upset about this and can’t understand why they have been abandoned by their stepmom -- just as they were by their birth mother. The little boy is taking it the hardest. How can I help my grandchildren understand that this isn’t their fault? -- HEARTBROKEN GRANDMA DEAR HEARTBROKEN: If you and your son’s second wife are on speaking terms, ask her to contact your grandchildren and explain that grown-ups sometimes can no longer live together, and they need to remain with their father. She should also tell them that her leaving has absolutely nothing to do with them. ave ongoing abandonment issues, they should be seen by a therapist who can help them put those issues to rest. All you can do is love your grandchildren and be there for them as much as possible.
Can aspirin cause bruising? DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 66-yearold female. I have been on an 81 milligram aspirin a day for the last six years. I had a pacemaker inserted in 2007. Since then, I’ve had a problem I attribute to the aspirin, but I’m not sure that’s the culprit. Blood pools right under the skin on the lower part of my arms. It takes from three to four weeks to fade away, and when it does, it leaves a brown spot. Is the aspirin causing this? My doctor said my skin is thin and there is nothing I can do about it. I take flecainide 50 milligrams twice a day, Tegretol XR 900 milligrams once a day and Premarin 0.625 milligrams. DEAR READER: Your doctor is correct that your skin is thinner. This occurs because a portion of the protective fatty layer of skin that helps cushion blood vessels against injury is lost as we age. There is also the possibility that excess sun exposure over the years has broken down the collagen and elastin fibers in the

deep layers of your skin. One more possibility is a side effect of medication you may be on, including the 81 milligrams daily aspirin that acts as an anticoagulant. The Tegretol XR you are taking has uncommon side effects of severe allergic reactions, including unusual bruising or bleeding. I am not saying this is the cause of your bruising, but adding this to your aspirin regimen might be the cause. Speak with your physician for his interpretation. Avoid direct stress to your skin. Your doctor will likely continue your current medications because of your medical history. As such, you may find yourself wearing long-sleeved shirts when out in public.
