Wife wrong to doubt husband for decision she guided

his swift agreement still haunts me. I can’t help questioning how much I really matter to him. —

Dear Haunted: You might be viewing what happened from the wrong perspective. From where I sit, you

your husband what you wanted his choice to be, and, because he loves you, he immediately agreed.

I’m willing to bet that you are his world. I know few men who would wish to parent a child alone.

You made the choice for him, so you shouldn’t secondguess him now.

Dear Abby: My wife doesn’t think it’s rude to talk — or “whisper,” as she calls it — during movies. I don’t want to see movies with her because of this.

She says I don’t understand because I am not a woman. I tell her that gender has nothing to do with it. Talking during a movie is just plain rude. We can discuss the film after it ends.

Do you have any words of wisdom for her? She’s too busy talking to listen to me.

Dear Silent: You and I aren’t the only ones who think it’s rude for moviegoers to talk and whisper during a film.

Often when I go to a multiplex, a short message is posted on the screen beforehand requesting that audience members turn off electronic devices and refrain from talking during the movie.

Because your wife refuses to keep quiet, have her see movies with a female friend who doesn’t mind the distraction, assuming she can find one.

And, as for you, if there’s a movie you want to see, go alone or with a buddy.

P.S. Please warn your wife that she is asking to be yelled at, cursed at or worse if she persists.
