Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend’s brother and his son take care of my yard and fix things in my house. I make a point of being friendly with them because they are like family.
Now the brother’s wife has gotten the idea that I am having an affair with her husband. I have told her that is not so and that I am faithful to my boyfriend, but she doesn’t believe me and is telling other family members about what she thinks is going on and some of them believe her.
Queenie, what can I do?—Not guilty
Dear Not guilty,
I hope your boyfriend is not one of the people who believes what his sister-in-law is saying about you. That being the case, he should stand up for you with the rest of his family, especially his parents.
Meanwhile, hold your head up with pride and go about your business with honesty.
