Cake Wars and Cheating Husbands: Friday Morning Advice Column Deep Dive

I've been struggling to find something interesting to share with you that's other than the mainstream news , and I'm just not finding anything except horrible death and destruction . So we are going to do , dear Abby , today I'm going to pick a couple and we're going to see what happens . My boyfriend scolds me in public and makes me apologize to strangers .

Oh boy , this is probably a made-up one

. This has got to be a made-up one . My boyfriend embarrassed me when he told me to apologize to a woman standing behind him in line at the market . He was about to pay for the groceries when I said I'd run to get an item I had forgotten , it took less than a minute and the order was still being run rung up .

When I went back to include the item , he ordered me to loudly to apologize to the woman standing in the line behind him . Abby , he was still paying . She wasn't even in line when I went to get the mustard because he was still there . I thought he had told her he was waiting for me . It's not the first time he's done something like this .

I don't think I did anything wrong , or even if I did , he could have told me privately and not made me feel like a misbehaving child . I would feel different if we had left the checkout line , but he hadn't . I thought he was holding the line for me , not a child in Florida . Okay , the good news is you are not married to this man yet .

So there's your red flag Do not marry this man . Break up with him right now . That's my blunt advice to you . So here's what Dear Abby said Dear , not a child . If there had been a long line , I can understand that running back to fetch the mustard might have caused a serious inconvenience Because there wasn't .

Your boyfriend should not have embarrassed you the way he did , since it wasn't the first time he has done something like this . Assume that he derives satisfaction from doing it . There you go , she says . Think hard about whether you really want a future with a partner . So there you go . Not a child in florida , all right , let's see what is up next .

Oh , I'm the breadwinner , but my husband won't do any chores . This has got to be . These all have got to be made up . Come on , all right , I was dear Abby . I was once a stay-at-home wife . I did all the cooking

, housekeeping etc . Due to a downturn in the industry , where my husband was a highly paid executive , he turned to a health care career using his bachelor degree . I returned to work in a well-paying but demanding job . So now I cook , we eat , he sits down to watch tv and I clean while watching tv . When I ask for help , he accuses me of being a nag .

I I'm growing more and more depressed over this Advice . Please Feeling down in the South . Oh , you're in the South . Well , I don't even know what to say about this , except let's not divide chores . You know equal amounts of this and that I'm doing this , so you should be doing that . I mean it should just be like a regular routine . It just kind of flows .

You know , just use your common sense . Why are you keeping score ? I mean , apparently they both work , so I don't know why he's not doing anything either . Uh , does keep , look , I've got it made . I can't talk , I've got it made in the shade . I work . My job is not demanding though .

Uh , the husband is , you know , retired , so he stays at home and he takes care of everything . I mean , everything is so much so that I feel bad . I feel like I need to be doing something , but you know , what can I do ? I don't know . All right , we're moving on . That was a boring one . That was a boring one . Um , oh , this is sounds interesting .

I don't know if my husband is my son's father . Uh-oh , uh-oh , dear Abby , my ex-husband , oh dear , oh dear , oh dear . Okay , my ex-husband was found dead in his home three months ago . He was a bitter man who never forgave me

for leaving him . We were divorced for 30 years before his death and we have two children and four beautiful grandchildren . For years , he bitterly complained to our children and refused to attend special events because I left him . When there were issues , he refused to help , insisting it was my fault because I had left .

The truth is , I left after I walked in on him having sex with my older sister , but he's bitter for her leaving . Okay , got it . Uh , neither of them saw me and I never told him what . Okay , okay , why , why didn't you ? Okay ? This is so weird . Let me read this again .

The truth is I left him after I walked in on him having sex with my older sister . Neither of them saw me and I never told him . Now he's gone . My sister , who recently lost her husband , keeps talking to me about my ex-husband , saying how good looking he was . It makes me sick , oh my God .

Oh , I loved my husband when I left him , but I could never forgive him . I wish I had said something to him when he was alive , but it was too late . Excuse me Every time , oh my gosh , hold on , oh my gosh . Okay , sorry about that . All right , I'm back .

Every time my sister speaks of him I get so upset I want to confront her about it , but fear it would do more harm than good . His death was her turned my world upside down and I am so confused . Okay , what does that have to do with you ? Don't think your husband is your son's father ? What the hell you ? I lost the story here . You should .

Okay , yeah , why did you not say something ? If I had walked in and saw my husband having sex with somebody else , everybody in the neighborhood would know . Okay , that's just crazy . I think that's all made up . But the headline is I don't know if my husband is my son's father , and she says nothing in here about any of that in this dear abby letter ?

That was dumb . That was just dumb . Okay , I'm just picking these out willy-nilly . Oh , my boyfriend won't divorce his wife . No , I'm not going over that one . Um , the love of my life died in my apartment . I'm scared to be alone now . Not reading that one . My best friend was been secretly using rogaine . I feel left out that he didn't tell me . Not reading

that one . My daughter called the cake I made for her birthday stupid . Okay , let's read that one . Okay , just because , dear abby , my 40 year old daughter oh my god , 40 year old daughter is on a weight loss injections and no sugar diet . I offered to bake her a sugar-free cheesecake and she agreed .

But she asked me to make a tester cake three days before . I explained that the cake has a lengthy preparation process involving a very slow bake in a water bath and 12 hours chill time . Oh my god , I said just go buy something . I suggested she wait , but she insisted , so I made it early . She cut a slice of it and exclaimed how great it tasted .

Three days later , I baked and decorated a carrot cake to use as her official birthday cake , since the sugar-free cake had been cut and wouldn't look nice in the photos . Carrot is her children's favorite . I hosted everyone at an expensive restaurant , gave her French perfume and a weekend getaway . She's 40 .

You don't need to be giving these extravagant gifts to your 40-year-old daughter . Sorry , maybe I'm just being a witch here . Uh . So anyway , when we returned from the dinner , my daughter angrily said get in here so we can cut this stupid cake which I can't eat . Oh my gosh , I was shocked and confused .

She said I shouldn't have made a cake of a flavor she dislikes . But I pointed out that she had the sugar-free cake too . Apparently , she had expected me to bake a second sugar-free cheesecake . I chewed her out for being ungrateful . Was I wrong ? I'm not even going to answer that Y'all . Y'all know your common sense . Come on now .

Oh , all right , we need to go move on to the question of the day . I don't know about you , but I enjoy reading those , especially like spontaneously , when I haven't read them before and I just read them like I'm reading them to you as I'm reading . Okay , that makes no sense . You know what I mean ?

Uh , it's just hilarious to me , some of these people that write in . Although I don't think they really write in . I think it probably . 98% of them are probably all made up , maybe 99% . They're probably all made up . They have to be . Oh well , I'm going to oh question of the day . Let's stick with the cake . What is your favorite cake ?

Do you have a favorite cake ? Like , if you were , if you on your birthday , and somebody said what kind of cake do you want , what would you order ? What would you ask for ? I'm going to

ask for anything that doesn't have nuts in it . I don't like carrot cake . Probably my favorite is red velvet . There there's my favorite cake . It's red velvet . All right , what about you ? All right , got to go Love y'all . Happy weekend . Hopefully the gent and I will be back on Sunday for Brute Awakening .

We totally forgot about it last weekend because we were in Tunica , probably , and we were getting ready to leave to come home on that day , on Sunday . So hopefully we'll remember to do an episode Sunday . All right , got to go , Love y .
