DEAR ANNIE: Cheating within marriage need not end in divorce

DEAR ANNIE: Most often a cheating husband or wife causes the divorce. Most would want to end their marriage after finding their partner cheated. And most people would advise the offended partner to leave. This is most of what I read in people’s letters and people’s responses to you. But it doesn’t have to be like that.

I remember a serious girlfriend telling me once she would divorce me immediately if she found I cheated, no questions asked. And I ...

DEAR HELOISE: I recently read that 1 in 4 Americans can’t make a basic meal, and I found this to be surprising. If you can read, you can follow instructions in a cookbook. If your mother cooked most of your meals, just ask yourself, “What did she make for dinner?” You don’t need a master’s degree to toss a salad. People who say that they can’t cook haven’t tried to cook. (And I’m talking to all you bachelors out there!) Don’t believe anyone who says they can’t cook. They may not be good at it, but anyone can make a basic meal. While I was in college, my frat ...
