Reader concerned that wife is addicted to a game app

Dear Annie: My wife is borderline addicted to “Words With Friends”, and it’s causing me concern, in addition to creating some strife within our marriage. It would be one thing if she were only playing with other female players, but she also has an ongoing game with a former male classmate, which I consider to be a form of online flirting. Would you agree, or am I overreacting? I still work, and my wife is retired, so when I’m ready for bed because I have to get up early, she is wide-awake and ready for late-night games with friends (one in particular). I have suggested repeatedly that she go to bed when I go, but she says she isn’t sleepy and is a late-night person, so she stays up until 1 or 2 a.m. playing “Words With Friends.” This continues to cause disharmony in our marriage, and it’s something I have a hard time accepting as permissible. Please let me know how you and your readers feel about this issue. — Concerned Husband

Alabama, Texas haul in top classes

College football’s early signing period has dramatically influenced the recruiting landscape by speeding up the pace of verbal commitments and leading schools to make staffing changes earlier and earlier in the regular season.

Slavery and racial terror still haunt our legal system

It has been more than a year since I watched Derek Chauvin murder George Floyd. Of the many haunting moments from that video, it still strikes me that as Floyd and witnesses pleaded with Chauvin to stop, the then-officer and now convicted murderer looked directly into bystanders’ cameras and smirked. That disquieting, macabre smile reflected a murderer certain that he would escape accountability.
