Unspoken feelings

Dear Annie: My friend “Caleb” and I have been close for six years. We met in college, stayed in touch and still talk almost every day. He’s been in a relationship for a while, but I recently realized I have feelings for him. We’ve never crossed any lines, but it’s getting harder to ignore my feelings.

Breaking up the book club

Dear Annie: A few years ago, a group of us started a book club that became one of the highlights of our month. We’d gather with good food, wine and plenty of laughter, and occasionally even talk about the book. For a long time, it was pure fun. But over time, one member began to dominate everything. She interrupted constantly, turned every discussion back to herself, and flooded our group text with photos of her meals, her outfits and long comment threads that made the rest of us silently roll our eyes. Several of us tried to address it gently, hoping she might get the hint, but ...
