DEAR ABBY: I am 30 and engaged to a 28-year-old woman I'll call Sharon. Her best friend, "Janie," asks very personal questions, like "How often do you two have sex?"
Sharon will lie to her and reply "Twice a month." I'm not there when Janie asks these questions, but I hear about it afterward from Sharon. I resent the questions and prefer that Sharon ignore her and pretend she didn't hear the question.
Sharon reasons that if she tells her friend a lie and the woman knows it's a lie, it will keep her guessing. I feel it is none of her business and doesn't deserve a response. How do you think this should be handled? -- BOB IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR BOB: Ask Sharon, "What's wrong with telling your friend that you do not care to respond to such personal questions?"
