Dear Ann Landers, I think you've been out in the sun too long. "Nameless, Faceless and Placeless" discovered that her fiance, Jeremy, was online, pretending to be unattached, and looking to meet women. She planned to trap him by pretending she was one of those mystery females. Now, he wants to meet her. She asked for your advice, because she said she loves the guy and doesn't want to lose him. You told her to stop playing games.
Annie, this guy is a LOSER, and you should have told her to dump him. She has been living with him for more than a year, and they are engaged to be married. He is no immature child. He is in his 40s, and so is she. Why is this jerk looking in the online personals to meet other women? Furthermore, she must have suspected he was not entirely faithful, which is why she resorted to duplicity to find out exactly what he was up to.
You should have told her to get rid of the creep. The wedding ring on his finger will not keep him from straying. Better she should know NOW what kind of guy she is involved with. Please, Ann, reconsider your advice. -- No Mystery in Centereach, N.Y.
Dear Centereach, You are right. My "duh" response was less than helpful. A betrothed male who is still surfing the Internet looking for women needs to be evaluated more carefully. Thanks for cleaning up after me.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

I hope she arranged to meet up with the jerk for a nice surprise. Then she can hand over the engagement ring (if the creep even popped for one) to let him know his cheating ways have been discovered. Let him go and screw around with other women until they also catch him in his games.

I had the same thoughts as the reader who said she should arrange to meet with the creep! It would also be funny to arrange to have someone video taping the final encounter with the jerk (with sound, of course) to put up on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram or all three. This would also be considered as 'crowd control', LOL

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , baloney. You are about my age, Ann, and I’ll bet you will agree that we had it a lot rougher than the kids have it today. The Depression was so awful I don’t know how we lived through it. There wasn’t enough food in the house to feed us five kids. If the neighbors hadn’t helped, I think we would have starved. There were no jobs. Both Mom and Dad took any little piece of work they could find. I remember when Dad put in three days at a coal yard and was paid in coal, which he was darned happy to get. Kids today don’t know what it is to be hungry. A lot of them get fed breakfast and lunch in school at government expense, which means by us taxpayers, of course. When Franklin D. Roosevelt became president he started the Civil-ian Conservation Corps, which was a godsend. What a brilliant idea! It not only helped rebuild our country but provided millions of young people with jobs. I was one of them. How many kids today would be willing to work that hard? Darned few, I’ll bet. I look at my grandchildren, Ann, and they are cream puffs compared to what we were. They have it so much softer, it isn’t even funny. I’ll bet you agree with me. Please print my letter, and let me know what you think. -A Feisty Michigander
