THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My friend is cheating on her husband. I caught her a month ago and she said she was going to quit seeing this guy, but she's still seeing him. My husband and I have been friends with this couple for a long time. We've been to many parties together and I'm usually the designated driver. I stay sober while they're all having a little fun. A month ago we were at a party at their house and she was outside visiting with a guy from across the street. When I walked out I saw them kissing. They saw me and things got awkward. I didn't say anything then, but when the guy left I asked her what that's all about. She said, it's all pretty innocent. She said they hooked up a few times, after he lost his job and he was hanging around the neighborhood while my friend's husband is at work. That's not cool with me at all. I've been avoiding them now for a month. My husband doesn't know what I know. He's good friends with her husband, and he wants to get together with these two, but I've been trying to stay away until she ends the relationship. I asked her the other day and she said she is going to quit seeing him. I'm not sure what to do... do I tell her husband? Do I stay out of this? If it was happening to me, I'd want to know.
Signed – Friend feeling bad.

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
We spend a huge chunk of our lives texting, emailing, and DM-ing. But here's the thing: doing so may be cutting into real conversation. According to new research, people are speaking less each year. A 2025 study of about 2,200 people across multiple countries found the average person speaks roughly 12,800 words a day, down from nearly 16,000 in 2007. Another analysis estimates a yearly drop of about 300 spoken words. The researchers say they're putting it out there because they wonder what’s being lost: casual chats, deeper talks, or something else entirely...and they also wonder whether texting truly replaces those moments. Younger people show the biggest decline in spoken words. As for who talks more, men and women? That depends on age, with no consistent overall difference.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
In the game of long-term love, it’s probably safest to lean into praise and call your partner “beautiful” or “amazing,” especially in public. And now, a viral, highly unofficial “study” inspired by “Wheel of Fortune” found that husbands who avoid complimenting their wives may be more likely to end up divorced. TikTok creator @JoeyToks reviewed nearly 2,000 episodes of the show between 2010-19, tracking how men described their spouses during introductions. Here’s what he found among those who mentioned their partner:
• 82% chose complimentary words.
• 18% did not use a single sweet attributive.
• Of those who complimented their wives, only 5% were divorced within 5 years of their episode’s debut.
• Those who failed to praise their wife experienced divorce 3-times more often than their more complimentary counterparts.
The findings have sparked debate online, although experts are pointing out that relationships are far more complex than what someone says on TV. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4r735szh

OF THE DAY
A study shows plastic surgery won’t make you look more attractive.
A new survey says that nearly 1 in 5 adults believe they have psychic abilities — in an age dominated by data and AI. The poll of 2,000 Americans found intuition plays a major role in everyday decisions, from relationships to finances. While some see it as a genuine “sixth sense,” others admit it can be hard to distinguish gut feelings from anxiety. Younger generations, especially Gen Z, are the most likely to claim psychic traits. Despite modern technology, belief in intuition remains strong, and for many, it’s still a guiding force. Here are some additional stats from the study:
• 19% say they consider themselves psychic
• 71% rely on intuition at least sometimes
• 11% reject the idea entirely
• People report an average of 18 “psychic moments” per year
• 30% of Gen Z identify as psychic (highest of any group)
• 33% say they can sense when something feels “off”
• 25% had a bad feeling that proved correct

THE LIST
THINGS YOU SHOULD JUST GET RID OF:
Whether as a part of spring cleaning, or just because they’ve been lying around forever, get rid of these things right now, and make your home more functional – and less cluttered…
1. Unnecessary Cords and Chargers: We all have old cables from devices we no longer own, and mystery chargers that can’t be identified. Lose them now. If you ever need one again, it’ll likely come with the device anyway.
2. Appliance Manuals: There’s no need to keep bulky paper manuals anymore. Almost every guide is easily searchable online, making the physical copies redundant.
3. Food Storage Containers Without Lids: Lidless containers are basically useless, and they tend to pile up. Getting rid of them frees up space and makes your kitchen feel more organized.
4. Unused Kitchen Gadgets: That fancy tool or appliance you never touch is just taking up room. If you haven’t used it by now (or in the past year), chances are you won’t. So let it go.
5. Old Medications: Expired medications lose effectiveness and can be unsafe. Dispose of them properly, rather than letting them linger in your cabinet.
6. Expired Beauty Products: Makeup and skincare don’t last forever. If something smells odd or has changed texture, it’s time to toss it to avoid irritation or harm.
7. Old Paperwork and Bills: Stacks of paper quickly become overwhelming. Digitize anything important and recycle the rest.
8. Items Tied to Negative Memories: Objects that bring up bad feelings don’t deserve space in your home. Letting them go can be surprisingly freeing, both physically and emotionally.
