 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: Recently, an old college friend lost his wife to cancer. He now says he wants us to be together, but I'm not interested. I've tried to deflect his advances to be nice, but he's very persistent. I know he's still hurting from his wife's passing and feels alone raising three young kids, so I want to be kind in my rejection. What do I say? How does one reject or break up with a perfectly good person without being hurtful, with compassion and kindness? — Old Friend |
