| Alice Advises by Alice Stein ~~~~~~ Home Spun Advice For Those Who Really Need It |
| Dear Alice, My best friend and I have known each other for over twenty years. We have shared practically every life experience together that you can share with another person. Since we both got divorced a couple of years ago we have been closer than ever. The problem is that I’ve made a new friend in recent months who I also enjoy being with and my old friend seems to resent it when I do things with the new one. The last thing I want to do is hurt anybody. Can you think of something that will help the situation? A Friend Dear A Friend, Yes, I can. Why don’t you plan some events that all three of you can enjoy together? That way one won’t be jealous if you’re out with the other. I applaud your devotion to your friend and I think this will smooth out with time. Best, Alice ______________________________________________________ Dear Alice, Who said “a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose?” Stumped Dear Stumped, That was Gertrude Stein. Leave off the first “a” as well when you quote it. Best, Alice ______________________________________________________ Dear Alice When two people are in love, they aren’t going to agree on everything. Nor should they. But don’t you think they should get along on most things? I mean, it isn’t healthy for a relationship for the couple involved to argue about seventy-five percent of things, is it? Maybe I’m being too analytical but I am worried. Doom keeps sounding in the back of my mind. Needs Help Dear Needs Help, No, it isn’t healthy for a couple to argue constantly. Common ground is what a steady relationship is based upon and when there is too much commotion hard feelings and grudges will surely develop. Love might be blind but it isn’t always intelligent. I’d prepare to extricate myself from this one. Best, Alice ______________________________________________________ If you have a question for Alice, you may reach her via the Contact page.
