Ask Amy: Do I have to accept my wife’s secrecy about her past?

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 01:04:47 GMT

Dear Amy: My wife of 57 years had a lover in her youth.I have asked her for some details about that affair, but she refuses to disclose anything.Should I accept that stance on her part or should she comply with my request?Just the Facts!Dear Just the Facts! You don’t say why you are so curious about this very long-ago love affair – at this stage in your own life.My reaction is that your wife is her own person. She has the right to disclose – or withhold – anything from her own past that precedes your relationship, unless this has a direct bearing on your own family (for instance, if she had a child by that relationship). This also applies to your own past, by the way.In my opinion, your curiosity doesn’t qualify as a “need-to-know.”If this has become a sticking point in your own relationship, then you will both have to reckon with it, thoughtfully talk it through, and make a conscious choice to move forward.Dear Amy: I have a beautiful, smart and wonderful 16-year-old granddaughter ...

ANÁLISIS | Los arrestos de dos ciudadanos chinos en una supuesta “comisaría” secreta en Nueva York profundizan el enfrentamiento entre Washington y Beijing

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 01:04:47 GMT

(CNN) — “No necesitamos ni queremos una estación de policía secreta en nuestra gran ciudad”, dijo este lunes Breon Peace, fiscal federal para el Distrito Este de Nueva York, expresando el sentimiento probable de muchos estadounidenses ante la noticia de que el FBI arrestó a dos presuntos agentes del gobierno chino acusados de trabajar para hostigar y silenciar a sus críticos en EE.UU.El Departamento de Justicia también acusó de delitos relacionados a 34 agentes de la policía nacional de China, todos los cuales se cree que viven en China.Las revelaciones amenazan con llevar las ya agrias relaciones entre Estados Unidos y China a una mayor crisis, y tuvieron el efecto inmediato de endurecer las sospechas bipartidistas sobre Beijing en el Capitolio de una manera que tendrá serias implicaciones diplomáticas.Los fiscales alegan que China abrió una “comisaría no declarada” en la ciudad de Nueva York que se utilizó al menos una vez para rastrear a un activista prodemocracia de ascend...
