DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband and I recently planned a weekend trip out of town, and we arranged for our children to stay with their aunt, my husband’s sister, while we were away. We thought everything was going well until, halfway through our trip, we received a call from her saying that one of our kids had started acting out. She told us that she doesn’t tolerate that kind of behavior in her home and insisted that we come pick him up immediately.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been swamped with work. I work in a high-demand environment and have recently been securing a number of new high-end clients. This means early days, late nights and busy lunches. My girlfriend is not happy with how rigorous my work schedule has been these past few months; she’s expressed it to me, but I haven’t had time to do anything about it. Recently, she started filling her time with one of our friends – a guy. It started off mostly as a casual shared dinner here and there, but it’s been a lot more consistent lately, and it has expanded to other activities such as movies, walks and more. I’ve tried expressing that I don’t appreciate how close they’ve gotten, but I don’t have much of a leg to stand on.

Dear Doctors: I recently watched a video on the positive effects of napping in regard to heart disease. I am 66; I am a lifelong athlete with normal blood pressure and an LDL cholesterol level that is slightly elevated. I’ve been considering a statin and now wonder how napping may affect that decision.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I have always prioritized my credit. For our entire relationship, I have known that my fiance has been working on improving his credit, eliminating debts and being more fiscally responsible.
