Dear Abby: Engaged woman thrown by man’s reappearance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:12:00 GMT

Dear Abby: I recently got engaged to a man I’ve been seeing long distance for about a year. Then, out of the blue, an old military friend/crush called me and told me he has been thinking a lot about me and is working on himself. He apologized for the times he ghosted me because he couldn’t handle relationships.We talked for two and half hours, and it was like we were back to our deployment and inseparable. It brought feelings I have never had before, but it also brought confusion and conflict. I love my fiance. He’s a great man, and a single parent. I don’t know what to say to the old flame. Can you help? — Confused in the WestDear Confused: Tell the old flame you accept his apology for the multiple times he ghosted you and wish him luck in his self-improvement project, but explain that you are now engaged to a wonderful man. That said, you should not rush into marriage with anyone until you have doused this old flame and are confident in your decision....

The organization’s Top 30 is chock-full, with 16 infielders and two catching prospects.The one who knocksIn terms of talent and proximity to big-league readiness if there’s just “one to watch,” it’s Ceddanne Rafaela.The infielder-turned-outfielder broke out in a big way in 2022, when he moved from shortstop and became a defensive sensation in Double-A Portland. The organization’s 2022 Minor League Defensive Player of the Year evokes memories of Mookie Betts, who made a similar change at the same level almost a decade ago.The 22-year-old from Curacao could very well be Bo...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:12:00 GMT

Down a goal and eagerly looking for an equalizer despite a slew of chances, Colorado needed a calm head Saturday night in Austin.It came in the form of a pair of late-game substitutes in Michael Barrios and Kévin Cabral. The Frenchman scored a crucial 85th-minute game-tying goal as the Rapids earned a point against Austin FC in a 1-1 tie.“I thought (our tenacity) was excellent,” Rapids head coach Robin Fraser said postgame. “I thought our commitment to sprint, whether to close things down or to run behind was excellent. I thought our choices of how we wanted to play out and our positioning was good. The play was good, but the question (about tenacity) is a valid one, because without tenacity, you don’t see the that level of play.”Colorado (0-3-2, 2 points) was the better side on the night finishing with 19 shots, eight on target and four from inside the 18-yard box, and likely would’ve scored more if it weren’t for Austin FC goalkeeper Brad ...
