A woman seeks advice about her relationship with her son's father, Tony. They dated for two years before splitting up seven years ago. Recently, they have grown closer, but Tony has stated he does not want a romantic relationship due to personal issues. The woman feels confused by Tony's mixed signals, as he treats her like a friend but also expresses affection. She has set boundaries, refusing to have sex without a commitment, and is considering moving on since their relationship goals do not align. Dear Abby advises that Tony seems uninterested in a deeper relationship and suggests the woman not plan for a future with him. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining her boundaries and focusing on her own needs.
