Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence: The “Giving Tree” Edition

I’m convinced my husband had an affair with his boss—can I email her?

Prudie and writer Caille Millner tackle some serious problems:

  • I’m convinced my husband had an affair with his boss, but he denies it.
  • An ex who sexually assaulted me is still part of my friend group.
  • How can I get my mom to save for retirement so I don’t have to bail her out?
  • My slacker brother-in-law has duped his parents into supporting him—can I stage an intervention?
