DEAR ABBY: I have been di-vorced for eight years. My ex and I are on civil terms and text each other a few times a week regarding our kids, mutu-al friends and general chit-chat.A few months ago, during a rough patch in my re-lationship with my girlfriend of three years, “Lily,’’ I expressed my frustra-tion in one of these texts. It was noth-ing horrible or unkind, just venting a bit. A week or so later, Lily was spend-ing the night and I awoke at 2 a.m. to find an empty bed. I discovered her in the living room with my phone, surfing through my texts. She was livid about the communication with my ex, partic-ularly the one in which I commented about our relationship, and stormed out.I have no password on my phone and nothing to hide from Lily and told her so. I admitted that my ex was not an appropriate person to discuss our re-lationship with and apologized.This has caused a permanent shift in our relationship on two levels: She is angry and suspicious regarding my commu-nication with my ex, and I am having trust issues with her. I feel my privacy was invaded and wonder what else Lily has searched to satisfy her curiosity.She has yet to apologize and feels jus-tified in what she did. I contend that if she hadn’t read the texts, especial-ly in such an underhanded way, there would be no ill feelings. Am I wrong to feel this way or am I blameshifting?
— DAZED IN ILLINOISDEAR DAZED: You’re not wrong, and you are not the one trying to shift blame. Lily is. I don’t know what your marriage was like, but it appears you have re-placed your ex with a suspicious and controlling woman. Red flag!DEAR ABBY: I would like your opin-ion about something that’s bothering me. I live in a senior housing complex in Massachusetts. Most of the resi-dents are women in their 80s and 90s. (Some are also in their 60s.) A few men live here also.One of the men sits on his living room couch with only his jockey shorts on. He leaves his door wide open when he does this. He seems not to care who sees him while walking by his apartment.Some folks here believe it should be ig-nored and no one should look in while passing by. They say whatever he does in his own apartment is his own busi-ness. I believe that’s true, but only when the door is closed. What do you think? By the way, he is in his 60s.
— BEFUDDLED IN MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR BEFUDDLED: What people do in the PRIVACY of their own apartment is no one’s business. When the front door is open, it is no longer private. If the man’s state of undress bothers some of the residents, they should bring it to the manager of the senior hous-ing complex.DEAR ABBY: I’m a 77-year-old man. I am not currently involved with a woman, but I have had two marriages and nu-merous serious affairs. I’d like to know how it became the man’s responsibil-ity to put the toilet seat down. Wom-en seem to believe it is written in law, a rule by Emily Post or one of the Ten Commandments.
— FLUSHED IN FLORIDADEAR FLUSHED: It’s all of the above. And I think I know why you have had two marriages, numerous serious af-fairs and are not currently involved.Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Around rAvEnnAOn May 29, Lucille DeLuca and
JoAnn Cicci stopped at Rose Co-burn’s Atwater home to wish her a happy 83rd birthday. She is a special lady and I wish her the same.
———Many Ravenna friends
of Mary Elizabeth Po-lumbo sent her birthday wishes to help celebrate her “100” year birthday.
More than 100 people attended her celebra-tion at the Brandon Elks Lodge in Brandon, Fla., and I was told, the hall was filled with flowers.
She moved to East Do-ver, Fla., from Ravenna many years ago. While liv-ing here, she was a phar-macist in the Kent and Ravenna area.
———A silver throne and balloons and flowers every-
where met the more than 100 guests when we ar-rived at Dorothy Poland’s 90th birthday celebration at the Overlook Grill in Kent.
The “Queen Mum” was sitting re-gally on her throne, wearing her “de-served” tiara.
The party was hosted by her chil-dren Ann (and Fred of Texas), Jim (and Cheryl of Oregon), Dennis (and Connie of California), Kevin (and Sheila of Ravenna), Maureen (and Bob of Florida), Patrick (and Elaine of Ohio) and Mary (and Doug of Ohio).
Also attending were grandchildren from California, Oregon and Ohio; and assorted great-grandchildren; three brothers-in-law and their wives; one sister-in-law and husband from Ohio; and another sister-in-law from Ohio; the Rev. John Michael Lavelle; and the Rev. William Kraynak, pastor of Immaculate Conception, who said the blessing.
Former walkers and bridge and tennis players, Charlene (Jim) Wichman and Mary Lou Trexler, were there along with cousins and friends galore.
The setting overlooking the lake, the good food, and the weather all made for a wonderful day.
It’s now time for Dorothy to get back to reality and her children to wonder how they can surpass this party for the 100th!
