Dear Abby: My husband ‘cancels’ me any time I try to start a conversation
DEAR ABBY: My spouse “cancels” me, and I am no longer willing to accept feeling devalued.

DEAR ABBY: More than a year ago, I heard my co-worker, whom I consider a friend, talking to another co-worker (who is a gossip) about my belly. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

However, recently it came to my attention that Mom bought two tickets to Europe for her and Dad as a birthday gift. She used the money she had been saving for a family vacation to pay for them.

That effort not only led Decatur to a three-set win (25-12, 25-15, 25-18), it also caught the attention of high school sports fans across the region. Hall made her varsity debut as a freshman on a Decatur team that saw its season end with a loss to eventual state champ Mendon in the Division 4 district finals, but her role on that team is far from where she finds herself now. “She’s really smart about what she’s doing, and her mentality is, ‘I don’t really have to always hit it as hard as I can, but I can be smart about it. “This year, she’s really stepped up as far as being a leader,” he said. “That’s the thing that I need her to really, really excel at.
