DEAR ABBY: I’ve been dating a guy off and on for the past seven years. “Giorgio” is a wonderful person and will do just about anything for me. The problems are that he doesn’t have much to offer, and he talks too much.
He shares a great deal of our private business to family and friends, especially his mother. She’ll ask him several questions about me and then make snide comments in return. I have spoken to him more than once about this, to no avail.
Giorgio knows I don’t want him, but I can’t get rid of him. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. — SEVEN-YEAR ITCH IN GEORGIA DEAR SEVEN-YEAR ITCH: If you are aware of the snide comments Giorgio’s mother has been making, it must be because Giorgio has passed them along to you.
(Has he no brains at all?) Her attitude about you would erode your relationship with her son, even if you chose to continue it. I don’t know why you can’t get rid of Giorgio, but try this: Tell him you no longer want to see him and no longer want to be friends. Unless you do, the message won’t get across.
If he persists, warn him that if he doesn’t go away, you will file a police report because at that point what he is doing will be considered stalking. Then do it, if necessary. ** ** ** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
