We were planning our retirement move up to our cabin. One weekend he kicked me out of the cabin, and three hours later had her join him there.

DEAR ABBY: I am a senior in high school in a long-distance relationship. My boyfriend, 'Grant,' and I live two states apart and have visited each other several times. He's four years older than I am. We met three years ago, when Grant was 19 and I was 15, and became friends through banter online. However, he had a girlfriend and we were nothing more than friends. I developed feelings, but he did not reciprocate because I was underage. Later, after he and his girlfriend broke up, I told him how I felt and we became a couple. That was 10 months ago.

She took it to the Calvert Marine Museum on Solomon’s Island where the paleontology department confirmed her find.
