Ask Amy: Spouse can’t bear to be with in-laws

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:48:50 GMT

Dear Amy: I can’t stand my wife’s family.Things were great in the early years but became progressively worse over time.Out of the blue my father-in-law insisted on being called “Sir” — after a decade of me calling him by his first name.He worked hard and came from nothing, but acts like no one else but him can have a successful life or career.He is ALWAYS passive-aggressive toward me.My sister-in-law intentionally invaded my personal space and basically sexually harassed me in order to make me uncomfortable, in addition to directing insults at me in front of her parents.My wife ignores or doesn’t acknowledge this, but after her sister admitted it and apologized to her (not me) for doing this, my wife acted like it’s no big deal.The mother-in-law (RIP) would ignore me in my own house while visiting my kids.I told my wife that I don’t want to be around her family; they make me uncomfortable and treat me like a loser. (I am a hard-working RN with a m...

Thousands loot UN aid warehouses in Gaza as death toll tops 8,000 and Israel widens ground offensive

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:48:50 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Thousands of people broke into aid warehouses in Gaza to take flour and basic hygiene products, a U.N. agency said Sunday, in a mark of growing desperation and the breakdown of public order three weeks into the war between Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers.Tanks and infantry pushed into Gaza over the weekend as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a “second stage” in the war, three weeks after Hamas launched a brutal incursion into Israel. The widening ground offensive came as Israel also pounded the territory from air, land and sea.Gaza’s Health Ministry said the death toll among Palestinians has passed 8,000 — mostly women and minors — with even higher casualties expected on both sides as Israel presses its ground offensive.The bombardment over the weekend — described by Gaza residents as the most intense of the war — knocked out most communications in the territory late Friday, largely cutting off th...

Trump is returning to Iowa on Sunday for his eighth campaign stop in little more than a month

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:48:50 GMT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump will headline his eighth campaign event in Iowa in a little more than a month on Sunday as part of the former president’s accelerated fall schedule leading up to the first-in-the-nation caucuses in January.Trump’s planned speech at the historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Sioux City, in GOP-heavy western Iowa, follows events Monday in New Hampshire and Saturday in Nevada. The Republican’s campaign has long tried to show its dominance over his rivals with big early-state victories.The stop also comes after he was fined $10,000 by the judge in his New York civil fraud trial for violating an order prohibiting him from verbally attacking court personnel.Son Donald Trump Jr. was in West Des Moines at the campaign’s state headquarters Thursday, where he applauded about 50 volunteers who were attending a caucus training session. The training was part of what Trump’s team has promised will be a more disciplined effort in Iowa than...

The Trump era has changed the politics of local elections in Georgia, a pivotal 2024 battleground

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:48:50 GMT

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) — As she accepted an endorsement from a group called Veterans for Trump, Stacy Skinner spoke about how she got into politics because Democrats “were starting to infiltrate on the local level.”Former President Donald Trump and other national Republicans often warn of takeovers by China or people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Skinner is running for reelection to the City Council of Johns Creek, an Atlanta suburb of about 85,000.Yet the 44-year-old does not openly promote her Trump association, telling inquisitive voters in this Republican-leaning enclave only that she is “conservative.” Skinner’s opponent, Devon Dabney, meanwhile, faces questions about being a Democrat. Going into the 2024 presidential election, the dynamics in Johns Creek and other nearby Atlanta suburbs reflect how partisan and cultural divisions that intensified since Trump’s 2016 run have trickled down to local campaigns. Some activists and voters now view these nominally nonpa...
