Dear Abby: It feels so right but the timing is wrong. Should I walk away?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:51:10 GMT

DEAR ABBY: After being divorced for 18 years, I have reconnected with my high school sweetheart. She got in touch with me, and we started talking and seeing each other. We are both in our early 60s.She says she loves me, and to be honest, I love her, too. The problem is, she’s married.She has grown kids and is raising her 8-year-old granddaughter. She says she’s sorry about what happened to us years ago and that she and her husband have had nothing in common for the past 16 years. They sleep in separate rooms and don’t do anything as a family.I know it was wrong to get involved with her, because she’s married. I asked her why now and why me. She said it’s because she never stopped loving me and had tried to find me in the past. (I work in construction and have been in different places over the years.)I told her I don’t want to break up her home, but she insisted that she’s not happy. She told me that a few years ago she moved out but returne...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:51:10 GMT

(CNN) — Un día después de que China simuló “ataques conjuntos de precisión” en Taiwán durante ejercicios militares alrededor de la isla, el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Taiwán, Joseph Wu, condenó las acciones de Beijing en una entrevista exclusiva con CNN y advirtió que “parecen estar tratando de prepararse para lanzar una guerra contra Taiwán”.“Mira los ejercicios militares, y también su retórica, parecen estar tratando de prepararse para lanzar una guerra contra Taiwán”, dijo Wu.“El gobierno de Taiwán ve la amenaza militar china como algo que no se puede aceptar y lo condenamos”, agregó.Cuando se le preguntó si Taiwán tiene alguna idea del momento de una posible acción militar china, dadas las evaluaciones de inteligencia de EE.UU. de que Xi dio instrucciones a su ejército para que esté preparado para 2027, Wu expresó su confianza en los preparativos de Taiwán.“Los líderes chinos lo pensarán dos veces antes de decidir usar la fuerza contra Taiwán. Y no importa si es ...

Macron was ‘kissing Xi’s ass’ in China, Trump says

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:51:10 GMT

Donald Trump accused French President Emmanuel Macron of sucking up to China late Wednesday.“You’ve got this crazy world that’s blowing up and the United States have absolutely no say,” Trump, who became the first U.S. president — former or current — to be indicted last month, told Fox News.“And Macron, who’s a friend of mine, is over with China kissing [Xi’s] ass in China, okay. I said France is now going to China?” said Trump, whose relationship with Macron gradually soured during his time in office.Macron’s comments come after the French president suggested Europe avoid getting dragged into a U.S.-China confrontation over Taiwan, in an interview with POLITICO during his official visit to China.The “great risk” Europe faces, Macron claimed, is that it “gets caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy.”Macron’s comments have not made him new friends on the other...

In Camden Yards debut, Grayson Rodriguez gives Orioles another decision to make | ANALYSIS

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:51:10 GMT

The Orioles’ decision to prohibit fans from bringing fuel cans into Camden Yards on Tuesday night for top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez’s first start there meant the only ones in the ballpark were the cartoon versions on the front of the game’s free T-shirts.But in his home debut, Rodriguez ran out of gas. The “Welcome To The Show” phrase on the back could be short-lived, too.With Tuesday’s 4 1/3 innings against the Oakland Athletics, Rodriguez showed himself capable of being a major league starter now while also giving Baltimore’s front office reason to think otherwise, furthering the possibility that the end of spring training repeats itself.Rodriguez’s first start of this season likely would have come in the Orioles’ rotation rather than Triple-A Norfolk’s with a strong camp performance. Instead, after an inconsistent spring, the Orioles deemed the 23-year-old right-hander their sixth-best starter, making Rodriguez...
