Want advice?

Since I'm having a hard time coming up with a new blog entry, I decided to borrow one. The following is an archived letter to advice columnist Ann Landers. I can give advice as well as anyone. What do you think?

Dear Ann Landers:

I've been dating a man for over two years. "Ralph" is 28 and lives at home. He has a successful business and makes good money. The problem is that he has lived with his divorced mother since he was 8 years old. I sometimes get the odd feeling that their relationship is unhealthy.

I don't have any valid reason for this, and it could be I'm imagining things. But recently, when I was in his house, curiosity got the better of me, and I snooped in his bureau drawers and found several naked pictures of him, and he was obviously aroused. I also found pornographic magazines with pictures of women over 40. Should I be worried? Ralph is a great guy, and I don't want to mess up our relationship for no reason.

"Louise" in New York

Ann Landers responded as follows:

Dear New York:

It could be that Ralph is having an incestuous relationship with his mother, but even if he isn't, there is definitely something kinky about the fellow. The nude photos of him are certainly a red flag. You will have to confess to Ralph that you snooped. Be open with him about your feelings of uneasiness, and listen carefully to what he has to say. If, after a frank discussion about your misgivings, you are still uncertain, I say dump him.

Glenn responds as follows:

Lived with his mother since he was 8? Ever see the movie "Psycho"? Run, Louise, run!! Head for the hills!! Though, actually, wait a minute...you said he makes good money. How much are we talking about? Hmmm, this one's a toughie. Nah, you got me, I got nothing. Sorry.

Hope my advice has been helpful.
