DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were married nine years. He unexpectedly left me when COVID first hit.We were apart for a year and eight months and ended up divorcing. I filed because, even though I didn’t want to believe it, I eventually accepted that it was over. He hadn’t actually filed the papers, but he had taken all other necessary steps.It was the first time in my life I had ever felt this level of heartbreak.After time passed, he reached out and wanted to reconcile. We’ve been back together ever since, and he has asked me to get remarried. I happily agreed because he has been in therapy and made amazing changes.Related ArticlesAdvice | Dear Abby: The team is shunning me because I stood up for my wife Advice | Dear Abby: I don’t want my boyfriend to learn I’m stalking his ex Advice | Dear Abby: The mother overshared with the girls, and now they shun us Advice | Dear Abby: She led my husband i...El papa Francisco se reunió con Martin Scorsese tras recuperarse de la fiebre

Russia carried out overnight the largest drone attack on the city of Kyiv since Moscow launched its all-out invasion of Ukraine 15 months ago, Ukrainian military officials claimed on Sunday.Ukraine’s air defense system shot down 52 out of 54 Russian drones, Kyiv’s air force wrote on Telegram.“It was exceptional in its density — the maximum number of attacking missiles in the shortest period of time,” Kyiv City’s military administration wrote on Telegram.Ukrainian officials noted that the drone strikes took place on the last Sunday of May when Kyiv marks the anniversary of its official founding 1,541 years ago.The massive Russian attack comes as Moscow has intensified missile and drone strikes amid speculation of a looming Ukrainian counteroffensive. Ukraine’s military command called it the biggest air attack since Russia launched its war on Ukraine in February 2022.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Voters in Turkey returned to the polls Sunday to decide whether the country’s longtime leader stretches his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade, or is unseated by a challenger who has promised to restore a more democratic society.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been at Turkey’s helm for 20 years, is favored to win a new five-year term in the second-round runoff, after coming just short of an outright victory in the first round on May 14.The divisive populist finished four percentage points ahead of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the candidate of a six-party alliance and leader of Turkey’s center-left main opposition party. Erdogan’s performance came despite crippling inflation and the effects of a devastating earthquake three months ago.Speaking to reporters after casting his vote at a school in Istanbul, Erdogan noted that it’s the first presidential runoff election in Turkey’s history. He also praised the high voter turnout in the first round and...Modi opponents boycott opening of new Indian Parliament; PM says it breaks with colonial past

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s major opposition parties on Sunday boycotted the inauguration of a new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a rare show of unity against his Hindu nationalist ruling party, which has ruled for nine years and is seeking a third term in next year’s elections.Modi inaugurated the new Parliament in the capital of New Delhi by offering prayers as Hindu priests chanted religious hymns. Opposition parties criticized the event saying Modi had sidelined President Droupadi Murmu, who has only ceremonial powers but is the head of state and highest constitutional authority.Shortly after the inauguration, a visibly beaming Modi entered Parliament amid a rousing applause by his party lawmakers who chanted “Modi, Modi.” He delivered an almost 40-minute speech in which he hailed India’s parliamentary democracy and said the country had left behind its colonial past, referring to the old Parliament building that was built by the British whe...Other voices: Dignity Act, a start on immigration reform, deserves a fair hearing

As the debt ceiling showdown moves toward the critical stages, a bipartisan House group has offered a path forward on another controversial issue: immigration.On Tuesday, a handful of Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber announced they would introduce the Dignity Act, which The Washington Post described as “the most robust immigration proposal to date this Congress.”Notably, the six main co-sponsors — three Republican, three Democrat — are Hispanic members of Congress who represent border states. The primary authors are Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., and Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas.“We’re not each pursuing the perfect as we see it,” Rep. Salazar said. “We are pursuing a compromise that is real, that is common sense.”As such, the legislation has something for everyone to hate. It includes beefed-up border security, anathema to progressives, and a pathway to legal status for those in the country illegally, a thorn ...Latest news
