This isn’t the first time June has caused a rift She had a disagreement with another couple and they still do not speak This obvious puts the rest of us in an uncomfortable ' position and as a result we no longer can have the entire group together for a gathering Barb is willing to let bygones be bygones but June will not budge June’s husband has chosen to give Barb the silent treatment too The rest of us have tried to reason with June but it hasn’t worked — Problem in DC DEAR DC: You cannot force June to be a kinder person And as much as you like her husband unless he is willing' to work on his wife’s unforgiving attitude you will have to exclude both of themfrom gatherings with Barb and perhaps with others as well Consider this an incentive to widen your social circle and associate with people who are mature enough to set aside their differences for the sake of friendship By Kathy MKched & Marcy Sugar Creators Syndicate Inc DEAR ANNIE: Would you please send a heads- up to families whose married sons and daughters will be returning from overseas soon?
