Dear Eric: We have a good relationship with our neighbors. They’re friendly, and we’re mutually available for the proverbial cup of sugar and to look out for each other’s properties. We always share a wave and a smile, but we do not socialize together so there is no pressure to make the relationship more or less than it is. The neighbors have a fenced-off yard and multiple dogs. Our property is not fenced, and we have no animals. For some reason, when the dogs need to do their business, the neighbors bring them on leashes to our front yard. Their door is near our yard, but they have to walk through their own yard to reach ours. The neighbors clean up the solid messes, but we can’t figure out how our yard became the designated litter box. The dogs are not friendly, so they spend no other time on our property and would have no reason to be more comfortable here. It seems simultaneously necessary and frivolous to bring this up at the risk of upsetting the Goldilocks relationship we’re grateful for. What would you

Today is Sunday, March 30, the 89th day of 2025. There are 276 days left in the year. Today in history: On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously wounded by John Hinckley Jr. outside a Washington, D.C., hotel. Also wounded were White House press secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and a District of Columbia police officer, Thomas Delahanty. (Hinckley would be found not guilty by reason of insanity and held at a psychiatric hospital until his supervised release in 2016. James Brady died in 2014 as a result of his injuries.) Also on this date: In 1822, Florida became a United States territory. In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million, a deal ridiculed by critics as “Seward’s Folly.” In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold office on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. In 1923, the Cunard liner RMS Laconia became the first

DEAR ABBY: I am recently separated, and my divorce will be final soon. I have met a woman I didn’t even know could exist. She’s perfect for me. I have fallen for her, and it’s mutual. The problem is, she lives an hour and a half away and can’t drive at night due to a medical condition. The other issue is the fact that her father just passed away. She’s a widow living with her toxic mother. We both want this to work, but she needs time and space. I’m willing to give it to her because I believe she is totally worth it. This is the second serious relationship in my life. My ex and I were together for decades, but among other bad things, she cheated on me. I’m wondering if you have some advice for me. This new woman is my true “unicorn.” I’d do anything for her. I want to be with her, and she says the same, but even though her mother is toxic, she doesn’t seem to want to leave her and the bad situation she’s in. It’s early
