You can ask him to choose you, you can lower your expectations, you can find "fun" new ways to rationalize screwing over the other girl, but in the end he'll still be a guy who lives with somebody else and sees you on the side.

The year away from home has taught me a lot. However, I am concerned about my return. What worries me most is my father. Dad is a Vietnam veteran and fiercely anti-war.

We couldn't be more different politically, and I have never had much emotional support from him, especially when I became an officer in the Army. When my unit was mobilized, my father insisted I resign my commission. He said, "Choose between your family or the Army" Annie, my first loyalty is to my family but I will not go back on my word, my duty and my obligation to serve. I believe in what I'm doing, and nothing can change my mind on this. My father was furious when I left.

He told me I was no longer welcome in his home, I should never write to him, and although he hoped I would come have principles, but no one's political opinions should require him to cut off loved ones who disagree. Sooner or later, the war will be over, but the damage to your relationship could last a lifetime. Will your sister act as an intermediary? Ask if she will get a message to your father. Tell him you understand his strong feelings on the subject, but you hope he will not let political differences cause a permanent rift. Let him know you love him no matter what side he is on, and promise not to discuss the topic in his presence.

Let's hope he comes to his senses soon. Dear Annie: Our son and his fiancee are planning on living together this spring. My wife and I believe the main reason is that our son's fiancee will receive more financial aid for graduate school if she remains single. Our son has not tried to hide his plans from us, nor has he asked our blessing. Our religious beliefs tell us that living together is wrong, but my instincts say it may be the correct decision financially We love both of these kids and do not want to create problems.

How should we handle this? Should we prohibit them from sleeping together in our home when they visit, or are we being too old-fashioned? Perplexed in Pontiac, Mich. Dear Pontiac: You are wise to know that your son is an adult and this decision is his. In your home, however, you can set the rules. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

I was hoping he would calm down over time, but no such luck. I heard from my sister that he has no interest in seeing me when I get home and that I don't belong in his life until I admit the war was a mistake. Annie, should I just lie to him?
