A Chinese-American man is seeking advice from Dear Abby about his long-distance relationship with a woman from China, who is 24 years younger than him. They are waiting for U.S. immigration paperwork approval to marry. Both have been divorced twice, are educated and Christian. He is a physician in California, she is a teacher in China. Dear Abby advises caution as they have never met in person and only communicate online. The man’s chances of marital success are uncertain without physical chemistry and shared experiences.
In another letter, a frustrated daughter asks if her parents should divorce after her mother admits to staying with her father for his money. The parents have separate homes and spend minimal time together. Dear Abby advises against meddling in their marriage, as some couples may have unorthodox arrangements that work for them. The daughter is urged to seek therapy to cope with her mother’s selfish behavior and rejection.
