Dear Angelgirl:

You are welcome. If a friend is a good friend, and you tell that friend that it bothers you to hear her stories about her good relationship because you don’t have one, that friend will stop telling you her stories. If she is not a good friend, but an acquaintance who likes bragging, better not spend any time with her, not on the phone and not in person.

Think about what I said, about needing only one decent man in your life. It is possible for you, maybe in that solo holiday, maybe with some planning and figuring if and how you can possibly make it happen.
