Dear Queenie, A friend of mine has been separated from her husband for many years. They have not lived together for all that time but they never got legally divorced. For the last couple of years she has been dating another man and he has asked her to marry him and he even gave her an engagement ring. Queenie, can she be “engaged” to one man if she is still married to someone else?—Confused friend Dear Confused friend, Technically you are correct, but it is up to your friend to sort out her legal status. Leave it up to her to do so and meanwhile, for the sake of your friendship, do not argue with her about it.
