I dread telling fragile mom I'm moving out. Give advice to this Hax question.
Carolyn Hax can't get to every question she receives, so every week we ask readers to think like an advice columnist and submit their advice. Out of the many great responses we receive, we select a few standouts to publish on Wednesdays. Previous reader questions have been about worries for a daughter dating someone much older, finding hope after being cheated on and whether a boyfriend's disdain for dogs is a dealbreaker. No matter the question, Carolyn's readers always show up with thoughtful and useful advice. You can read last week's question and responses here.

Still pining for my old emotional-affair partner. Hax readers give advice.
We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below. Dear Carolyn: I miss my emotional-affair partner. Three years ago, I (married) was on a fellowship in another country and fell head-over-heels for another man. It never turned physical, but that's on him. I … desperately miss the emotional closeness, and I cannot let go of the desire to tell him everything.

How do I stop people from repeating the same stories? Hax readers give advice.
We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below. Dear Carolyn: I'm finding more and more often that I have friends who endlessly repeat the exact same story with every excruciating detail intact. I have tried to say, 'Yes, I know,' I have tried to butt in and finish the sentence exactly as they are going to say it — because it is the same sentence I have heard already 10 times. But they feel the need to keep retelling their stories — why? — through my attempts to stop them. They seem to be about perceived wrongs and contain a lot of how-dare-theys.
