Wedding thrown into question

- – Looking For The Right Thing To Do – Panicked In Pennsylvan­ia

Dear Abby: My sister-in-law “June” is being married soon. I will be the matron of honor. My husband, “Jake,” June’s brother, will be a groomsman for her fiance, “Jimmy.” Not only is Jake going to be a groomsman, but he’s also supposed to officiate.

Jake went to the bachelor party a couple weeks ago and Jimmy showed all the guys – including my husband – eight (!) naked pictures a girl from work had texted him. He asked my husband if he should tell June about it before the wedding or after, and Jake said he should tell her right away. Should my husband tell June or leave it up to Jimmy, who may or may not do it?

Dear Looking: Jimmy may or may not have “plans” for a fling with the woman who texted him the pictures – or it may have already happened. Because Jake now has concerns about Jimmy’s character, he should reiterate to Jimmy that if June isn’t told before she makes a lifetime commitment, he will tell her. He should also refuse to officiate at a wedding he fears may be a huge mistake.

Dear Abby: I am 30 and don’t drive. I have extreme anxiety and a learning disorder that affects my visual spatial perception. I try to hide this as much as possible, but I’m worried the truth will come out. Should I disclose it to employers? New friends? Acquaintan­ces?

Dear Panicked: If there is a medical reason for your inability to perform certain tasks, your employer should be informed. However, I see no reason to reveal this to acquaintan­ces or new friends. Fewer people drive these days.
