I just found an old boyfriend I dated when I was 14. Tom has been married now for 10 years. Happily, I might add. He told me so. My problem is his wife hates me. When my husband and I are at this couple's house, she acts fine in front of him, but when he leaves the room, she makes remarks about us leaving. When he returns, she says, "You don't have to leave. We're not pushing you out." My thinking was to get to know him all over again, and her also. I have to admit Tom has asked inappropriate...
When Priscilla McMurtry and her husband cancel their cruise to New Zealand, their cruise line decides to keep their $17,000 airfare. Can it do that? My husband and I booked business class airfare for our Windstar cruise in New Zealand through the cruise line. There was no mention of the tickets being nonrefundable until we received the confirmation. We had to cancel the cruise, and we tried to get a ticket refund. Windstar claims it booked the tickets through a third party called Global Marine...
Crista Cloutier pays RushMyPassport.com $227 for an expedited passport. Then the government loses her paperwork, and the company goes dark. Can she get a refund? I paid RushMyPassport.com for expedited service to apply for a U.S. passport. I could have done it alone, but the company made a compelling pitch. RushMyPassport.com says it delivers your passport "safe, fast and secure" and offers support by email, phone and chat. In fact, they offered none of those. The government lost my paperwork,...

I feel foolish soliciting advice on relationships because I have a Ph.D. myself and should be more sophisticated when it comes to these things. However, while I was raising my son alone, working full-time as a teacher, and pursuing my doctorate, I had no social life. It's a bit embarrassing to admit that I hadn't had a relationship for 20 years! If a man who would have loved my son had come along, I would have been happy, but it never happened. When my son was in college and my mother passed...
When an Airbnb host doesn't recognize Mehar Satsangi's reservation in London, it sets her off on a misadventure that leaves her $1,780 poorer and banned from the platform. Is there a way out? I've had the most harrowing experience with Airbnb. I recently had reservations at an apartment hotel in London. When I arrived, my host told me I didn't have a reservation. (This was despite paying months before and receiving a booking confirmation from Airbnb.) I had no place to stay. I contacted Airbnb,...
What happened to Stefanie Rogers' Christmas tree? And why won't Home Depot refund her for the plastic Tannenbaum she never received? I ordered a $390 Christmas tree from Home Depot to be shipped to my home. I did not receive the item. Home Depot advised me to contact FedEx and my credit card company, Wells Fargo. FedEx opened a case but later emailed me and stated, per their investigation, that the package was delivered correctly. The Wells Fargo investigation is underway. FedEx advised me to...

I am a woman who was married for 15 years. Unfortunately, my husband left me for another woman, my best friend. Recently I have found myself drawn to a friend who has entered my heart. He is a very God-loving individual, a friend always there in my adversities. In him, I find almost all the qualities of an ideal man, yet I sense despair in myself that is hard to explain. Why? Because this man is a priest! How do you explain my attraction to him, and how do I know what I feel is something else?...
When Princess Cruises denies Linda Martin and her husband boarding on a cruise of the British Isles, it promises to take care of them. But then it doesn't. What do they have to do to get a refund? My husband and I booked a cruise of the British Isles with Princess this summer. Before we boarded in Southampton, a cruise line representative gave my husband a rapid COVID test because his PRC test (taken in the USA) had not yet been sent to his email. My husband tested positive. Princess would not...
Jason Blanke's Samsung dishwasher stops working after less than three years. And Samsung can't seem to repair it. Can he get an exchange or a refund? My Samsung dishwasher, which is less than three years old, recently started to leak and would not operate. I called Samsung, and although the dishwasher is out of warranty, they agreed to cover any parts needed so long as I pay for the $200 service call. I agreed. A Samsung technician came to my home and replaced a part. However, after a couple of...
I have been in a relationship for two years. Early on, my boyfriend became angry about picking up the tab, even though I offered many times and he turned me down. We worked through that and I try to be aware of equality. Recently we were driving to a party for a coworker. I also consider her a friend. My boyfriend drove, as he always turns down my invitation to drive. En route to the party, he glanced down at me programming my phone, and we heard a big bump. The car had hit something. We could...
