Dear Abby: My girlfriend cheated on me with my brother — right before I went to prison
DEAR ABBY: I have been incarcerated for 21 months. I stay in contact with my immediate family, except for my brother. I suspect that he slept with my girlfriend a couple of weeks before I came to prison, although I'm not 100% sure. He tells our family members that it isn't true and that he wants me to reach out. But I don't know if I can until I'm completely sure he didn't do it. Do you have any advice? — LOCKED UP IN DELAWARE DEAR LOCKED UP: You are locked away with little but your suspicions to keep you company. Under these circumstances, I can see how they might grow. Why do you think your brother did this? What 'vibes' did you pick up on before you left? If you really think your girlfriend would do something like this, why do you still consider her your girlfriend? If she was unfaithful before you were incarcerated, what makes you think she is any different now? Advertisement You have no proof that either of them did anything. You should definitely talk to your brother and your girlfriend about your suspicions. If you do, perhaps they can put them to rest. DEAR ABBY: I enjoy keeping up with family and friends on Facebook, but I have two uncles whose political posts have become increasingly extreme. Their messages are filled with anger and hate. I hoped things would calm down after the election, but their rhetoric has intensified. I have unfriended others who shared similar views, but I am hesitant to do the same with family. I've tried 'snoozing' them for 30 days at a time, but when they return, the posts are even more upsetting. I'm deeply offended by some of what they write. Is it OK to unfriend family? And, if they notice and confront me, how should I respond? — DIFFERENT IN TEXAS DEAR DIFFERENT: You are not obligated to read anything that upsets you. This includes items posted by relatives. You can simply unfollow them without unfriending them. But Facebook does not notify anyone that they have been unfriended, so feel free to eliminate them from your feed if you'd like. If, by chance, they should confront you about it, be honest about your reason without being combative. Advertisement DEAR ABBY: I am getting married in six months and hosting a relatively small wedding (80 guests). My fiance and I recently received a save-the-date for a college friend's wedding. It's set to take place two weeks after ours. We will be on our honeymoon at that time and unable to attend. We were not originally planning to invite this couple to our wedding but now feel that we must invite them in order to explain that we'll be on our honeymoon during theirs. We did not send them a save-the-date card. What is the best way to approach this? We have limited space and budget, so adding two people is not easy. — OTHERWISE ENGAGED IN NEW YORK DEAR OTHERWISE ENGAGED: You are not obligated to invite this couple to your wedding. Write them a sweet note explaining that you are sorry you won't be able to attend because you will be on your honeymoon at that time. That's all you have to do. However, it would be nice if you sent them a small gift to be delivered at the time of their wedding along with warm wishes that they enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.

Brawl breaks out between fans during WWE SummerSlam in NJ
A massive hair-pulling brawl broke out between female fans in the bleachers of WWE's SummerSlam in New Jersey. The chaos erupted early into Night 2 of the highly anticipated event at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with at least six wrestling fans involved in the ringside melee, the now-viral video shows. Video shows a woman in a black T-shirt appearing to try to grab and throw elbows at another woman in a white tank top, only to have another woman in a red shirt come up from behind her and yank her by the hair. 3 The fight broke out Sunday during WWE SummerSlam in New Jersey. X / @Kazeem The fan in the black shirt then starts to throw a flurry of body blows at the woman in the red skirt, as her hair is still being pulled. Behind them, a male fan was trying to hold the woman in the red skirt. However, another man appeared from behind him and pulled him away. The fight was brought to an end after multiple security guards donning orange shirts punched the brawlers and put a stop to the violence. The woman in the red skirt is seen kicking at the male fan who had been pulling at her and furiously pointing at him as the clip comes to an end. It remains unclear how the unscripted madness started. 3 Video shows a woman in a black T-shirt appearing to try to grab and throw elbows at another woman in a white tank top, only to have another woman in a red shirt come up from behind her and yank her by the hair. X / @Kazeem Aside from WrestleMania, the two-night event held in East Rutherford, NJ, is WWE's largest show of the year — with the average ticket price for SummerSlam starting at over $400. The two-night beatdown saw its share of action and drama in the ring. Cordy Rhodes defeated legend John Cena to regain the Undisputed WWE Championship in an epic street fight that capped off an incredible weekend of wrestling in East Rutherford, marking the second title reign for Rhodes after he won the championship at WrestleMania 40. After the shocking defeat, Cena stood in the center of the ring, when fans were treated to another twist. Brock Lesnar's music hit for his stunning return after not appearing in the ring since SummerSlam in 2023 and delivered his F5 finisher to a stunned Cena to set up a match later this year during the 'Peacemaker' star's retirement run. It was Lesnar's first WWE match since being named in the bombshell civil sexual lawsuit against Vince McMahon by ex-employee Janel Grant. 3 It remains unclear how the unscripted madness started. X / @Kazeem Lesnar has been persona non grata around WWE since then, with his merchandise being removed from the WWE Shop and his playable character, along with McMahon's, being taken out of the WWE 2K24 video game. Lesnar was rumored to be returning at the 2024 Royal Rumble, but the appearance was scrapped after the news of the lawsuit broke. McMahon has denied the allegations against him. His attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, called Grant, naming Lesnar in the suit, a 'publicity stunt' in February. Earlier in the night, WWE played a video montage on screens at MetLife Stadium honoring Hulk Hogan. Hogan's 'Real American' theme song played at the end of the tribute, as his son, Nick Hogan, was brought to tears and placed his hands over his heart as fans cheered. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a heart attack.
