I am absolutely nauseous from sadness and grief. My boyfriend leaves me with no alternative but to end our relationship. I know he loves me, but there are times his actions indicate otherwise. We do not live together. He makes an appointment with me and is either hours late or doesn't show up at all, always with some ridiculous excuse. He had to help so-and-so, had to look into this or that, or something I did aggravate him. Yet there is no phone call, no notice. When I express my displeasure,...
After John Bernath cancels his flight from Amman, Jordan, to Tel Aviv, a Booking.com representative promises him a full refund. So why has he received nothing? Last year, I bought two roundtrip flights from Amman, Jordan, to Tel Aviv through Booking.com. The tickets on Royal Jordanian Airlines were refundable. In November, I called to cancel my tickets and spoke with a Booking.com representative, who said I would get my money back, minus a cancellation fee of about $16, in about two weeks. Two w...

I've been to a social worker and a marriage counselor. I hope you can offer me some new advice. Two years ago I was very, very sick and beginning to be homebound. I could no longer get my teenage daughter up in the morning or pick her up from school. I would often wait for her to come home from school to find me on the floor, unable to get myself onto the couch. An MRI revealed a growth in my brain. This disturbed my gait and caused havoc like uncontrollable peeing. I could not even walk around...
When United Airlines cancels her husband's flight, it promises Maxine Biggs a prompt refund. So why is she still waiting for her $1,751 six months later? I booked a flight from Salt Lake City to Geneva for my husband through Booking.com. The flight was on United Airlines. United Airlines canceled the flight the night before and offered us a refund. United sent the refund to Booking.com three months later. When I call Booking.com, I just get the runaround and am told they will "look into it." I...
Where is Joan Cassell's iPhone? Gazelle says it sent it back to her, but there's no evidence it was delivered. Whose responsibility is this lost phone? I sent in an iPhone XR to Gazelle (ecoATM), a company that recycles used electronics. Gazelle had offered $120 for my iPhone if it was in good condition. But when Gazelle received the phone, it claimed it had scratches (which is untrue). Gazelle reduced its offer to $105. I declined the offer and asked Gazelle to return the phone. Gazelle claims...
My friend has a crazy personality when she drinks. As I've grown closer to her over the past year I've seen that alcohol transforms her into a completely different person. I've always known she thinks my fiancé is good-looking, but this did not bother me until last night when I went with him to her birthday party. She got extremely intoxicated and started asking my fiancé for hugs. As she hugged him she sometimes slurred that she would like to have his baby. Then she would go off in a c...

While at the hotel that night, I decided to extend my stay...
Craig McAllister can't see most of his baseball games in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Does he deserve a refund from SeatGeek? I paid SeatGeek $524 for front-row tickets for a spring training game between the Mets and Yankees in Port St. Lucie, Fla. When I got to my seat, I was extremely disappointed. The view was almost completely obstructed by a large ESPN cameraman directly in front of me. He blocked 80 percent of my view. (I have a photo.) The game was completely sold out. We tried watching the game...

I'm worried about my sister. She is married with teenage children. She and her husband own a beautiful home on a pond. Three years ago she discovered an 80s "hair band" and started to see them once in a while. We would sometimes go together on weekends to listen to them, but after six months she began to go every Saturday night. I stopped going that often because I, too, have a family. Her other friends also stopped going, saying it was too much. So my sister went alone and found new friends....
