John Forbes Kerry, reporting for duty. Again.
Iwas reluctant to come back from Mexico this spring, knowing it would still be cold and wet and cloudy. But I'd gotten used to looking for pretty things while in Mexico. I wanted to share the festivals and the art and the colors. I'd been taking pictures and sharing them on Facebook so my friends and family could see a little bit of the world that surrounded me.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My parents separated when I was much younger. Growing up, I had one wealthy parent and one low-income parent, and I was raised by the latter. I find it frustrating when people make assumptions that I grew up spoiled just because of my wealthy parent. It hurts me to think that people might perceive me as privileged when that's not my reality. I find it rude to assume anyone's financial status, really. I usually let people make their assumptions, but it's always bothered me. Moving forward, how should I handle this? — Mind Your Business DEAR MIND YOUR BUSINESS:

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am in a new relationship after being single for a long time. I'm struggling to navigate the line between privacy and invasion of personal space. Recently, my partner unpacked my suitcase after a trip without my permission. I thanked them, but I was not happy at all. I don't want anyone going through my things. On another occasion, they took a photo of me while I wasn't fully clothed without my knowledge. While I'm sure this is nothing unusual for many couples, I felt slightly violated. Could my discomfort stem from being single for so long and not being used to sharing my personal space, or is my partner being too invasive? — Uncomfortable DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: Being in an intimate relationship after a long period of being alone can be wonderful and disconcerting at times. To find happiness, you must become an excellent communicator. When you were alone, that wasn't necessary, as you only had yourself with whom to share your opinions, desires and limitations.
