Ask Amy: Husband’s new friend becomes a menace
The first point I want to make is that if he did this to you, I think it is possible that he will commit a crime against your husband, too. Steve should NOT have any access to your computers/accounts or personal information about your family or home.
In terms of your husband's reaction – I can imagine how heartbroken you must feel that he isn't more supportive of you.
When Steve steals your husband's identity, he might feel differently about this friendship.
I think you have some decisions to make, including the idea of pursuing this matter through the criminal justice system. In addition to the assault, Steve showed up at the backyard studio entrance on your property at an unexpected time.
A restraining order would legally keep him off of your property. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about your husband’s weird and worrisome efforts to bring him back.
If you’re unsure about your options, a counselor could help you to sort things out.
Dear Amy: My wife and I are going to have a baby in two months. We are very excited.
My mother is very excited, too. This will be her first grandchild.
The other day my mother brought up the idea of bringing her dog with her into the delivery room while my wife gives birth.
We all love this dog (and my mom), but this seems bonkers to me. She says it will be great for the newborn baby to get used to the dog and that the dog will be like an “emotional support animal” for all of us.
