When we got to know each other better, he said I was the answer to his prayers, and I knew he was the answer to mine. Then, on the phone one night, I let it slip that I was not actually divorced only separated. Heiecame very angry, saying that our relationship had been based on deception; I was a liar, he detested liars, and he wanted nothing more to, do with me. He said goodbye and hung up.

Abby, I've had nothing to do With my husband for five months, and I consider myself divorced, but I haven't filed yet. I've Phil, and he won't even talk to me. I've written, him letters of apology, but he returns them unread. I realize I can't force him to talk to me or read my letters, but he won't even give me a chance to clear the air so we can pick up our relationship where we left off. I am not a dishonest person.

I would like to stop buying gifts. But how? Do I dare to stop. cold turkey? How have others handled this awkward situation? I imagine some of those relatives would be Just as happy not having to worry about what to get Grandma, or writing thank-you notes for gifts they weren't too crazy about to begin with. Thanks for your help, Abby. i GRANDMA DEAR GRANDMA: I have made this suggestion in previous years: Come Thanksgiving time, send notes saying: "I am thankful for family with whom I can be completely honest.
