US EditionDear Abby: Grandpa anticipates awkward conversation with ‘medically enhanced’ granddaughter
- A woman writing to Dear Abby, penned by Abigail Van Buren and founded by Pauline Phillips, seeks advice on two personal matters: her 26-year-old granddaughter's upcoming breast enhancement surgery, and her two-year affair with her married neighbor named Reed.
- The affair began despite the woman's relationship with Keith, whom she met online about a year and a half ago and visits occasionally, despite living 400 miles apart.
- Reed recently ended the affair, stating he needs to be a role model to his kids, possibly influenced by seeing his stepdaughter's pain after her boyfriend cheated on her.
- Reed said he needs to be a role model to his kids, and the speaker wonders if Keith has ever told her that he misses her after visits.
- Abby's advice to the woman regarding her affair is to examine why she started it with someone unavailable, while 'Cool Grandpa in Texas' suggests that if the granddaughter mentions her surgery, he should look her in the eye and say, 'tell her she looks terrific'.
