Dear Abby  


Real letters sent to the Dear Abby (Abigail Van
Buren) column.

 
Dear Abby,

A couple of women moved in across the hall from me.
One is a middle-aged gym teacher, and the other is a
social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go
everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into
their apartment or come out. Do you think they could
be Lebanese?
 
 
 
 

Dear Abby,

What can I do about all the sex, nudity, language and
violence on my VCR?
 
 
 
 

Dear Abby,

I have a man I never could trust. He cheats so much
I'm not even sure this baby I'm carrying is even his.
 
 
 
 

Dear Abby,
 
 

I am a twenty-three-year-old liberated woman who has
been on the pill for two years. It's getting
expensive, and I think my boyfriend should share half
the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss
money with him.
 
 
 
 
 

Dear Abby,
 
 

Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy
who was raised in a good Christian home turn against
his own?
 

 

Dear Abby,

I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now,
how do I get out?
 
 
 
 
 

Dear Abby,

My forty-year-old son has been paying a psychiatrist
$50 an hour every week for two- and-a-half years. He
must be crazy.
 
 

Dear Abby,

Do you think it would be all right if I gave my doctor
a little gift? I tried for years to get pregnant and
couldn't, and he did it.
 
 
 

Dear Abby,

My mother is mean and short-tempered. Do you think she
is going through her mental pause?
 
 
 

Dear Abby,

You told some woman whose husband had lost all
interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my
husband lost all interest in sex years ago and he IS a

doctor. What now?
