DEAR ABBY: I feel just terrible. A friend of ours brought a young woman over for us to meet. (His wife died about a year ago.)
She was very loud, talkative and bossy, which was disappointing to us because we knew his first wife, who was a real lady.
The following day, the man came over alone and asked us what we thought of his lady friend. We told him the truth.
Well, you guessed it. They are being married, and we are not invited to the reception!
Were we wrong in being honest? My husband thinks we were. -- CAN'T LIE
DEAR CAN'T: Honesty is always the best policy, but you should know that no man wants an honest opinion of a horse after he's bought it.
