Dear Abby: My adult daughter wants to confide (complain) to me about her husband — his quirky behavior, things he does that she doesn’t like, etc. — nothing heavy or abusive. I have told her that I think it’s inappropriate for her to talk to me about him, unfair to me and bad for the ongoing relationship I have with him.
