Dear Abby: A co-worker reached out to me and we started talking. He asked me on a date, and we’ve been official for about a month now. He’s beyond amazing, but there’s a problem. He can’t express his feelings to me, or to anyone for that matter. He’s very insecure because he used to be overweight.

He hasn’t been in a relationsh­ip in forever. I know he’s serious about us. I’m slowly falling for him, and I want it to work out. Is there anything I can do to help him get comfortabl­e with opening up to me?

Falling For Him

Dear Falling: Yes. Start by rememberin­g the two of you have

Dear Abby: My wife and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversar­y this year. What is typical or acceptable in preparing for the celebratio­n?

We have a 48-year-old son who has NEVER remembered dates, especially our wedding anniversar­ies, so I don’t expect that he’ll plan anything in our honor. I love my wife so much I just can’t let our 50th slide by without a celebratio­n. Would it be appropriat­e for me to take the lead? I feel weird setting up a party to honor myself.

Sad in Colorado

Dear Sad: It is not uncommon for couples to plan and host their own anniversar­y parties. If you would like to celebrate your 50th surrounded by friends and family, you are free to take the initiative and do so. Or spend the money taking your bride on a cruise or other trip of a lifetime.
