Dear Abby: I’ve threatened divorce over my wife’s messiness — nothing changes
Dear Abby Letters Dear Abby: I’m usually quite neat and organized, but my wife, well, she’s the opposite. I knew this about her before we tied the knot, yet we made a promise that she would make an effort to be tidier if we lived together. Sadly, that hasn’t happened. Every time she comes home, […]
