DEAR ABBY: I have an ex-boyfriend with whom I have remained friends since we broke up two years ago. We see each other a few times a year, but I haven't seen him in six months.
Last Christmas, as a gift, I bought him a bottle of wine I know he enjoys. I have mentioned several times that we should get together so I can give it to him, but he is making no effort to hang out.
At what point do I put the bottle to better use and drink it myself? -- MIKE IN ST. PAUL
DEAR MIKE: How about tonight? And be sure to share it with someone who will appreciate your company as well as the wine.
