DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old guy and live with my parents. We have this neighbor, “Ed,” who, until recently, was friends with my dad. We’ve hung out with him several times and have even gone over to each other’s houses to watch sports games and eat dinner.

Dear Abby advises a man on how to handle his invasive neighbor, and a woman on how to handle family tension surrounding walking the bride, her niece, down the aisle.

Dad seems to want to just ignore the issue, but I think it’s the wrong move. Should I approach this nosy and indignant neighbor? -- UNEASY IN ILLINOIS DEAR UNEASY: No, you should not. Keep that sliding glass door locked.
