Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

DEAR ABBY: Would it be wrong to tell my ex-husband’s girlfriend (whom he left me for) that he still tells me he loves me and can’t move on because of me?He says it no matter how many times I have told him I don’t ever want him back. He has also said he doesn’t plan to remarry, despite the fact that she wants to get married and is being led to believe he loves her and wants to marry her.(I have the text messages to prove it.)I don’t want her to be hurt like I was. She moved away from her family to be with him. She has no family here, but she has a great job, and he’s just using her for her money.I know I shouldn’t care, but I think she should know how he feels. I hate that he’s lying to her and using her.Should I send her the texts I have or leave well enough alone?WANTS TO WARN IN THE SOUTHRelated ArticlesAdvice | Dear Abby: Given how my marriage ended, what should I do with the ring?

Italy must open up beach concessions, EU’s top court says

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

Italy can’t allow beach clubs to keep control of the sandy shore until 2033, the European Union’s top court ruled on Thursday.While Italy’s seafront is public property, large parts of beaches are dotted with umbrellas, sunbeds and restaurants managed by private beach businesses that strike concessions with local authorities. Italian lawmakers in 2020 allowed these contracts run until 2033.The Court of Justice said that can’t happen. Beach concessions “cannot be renewed automatically” and must face “an impartial and transparent selection procedure,” judges said in a ruling that sets out EU law for an Italian court handling a dispute between the country’s competition authority and the town of Ginosa.Beaches are a hot political issue in Italy, sparking clashes last year within the coalition government led by former Prime Minister Mario Draghi who had only wanted to extend the concessions until the end of 2023.National courts and loc...

NATO chief makes first wartime visit to Kyiv

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is in Ukraine on Thursday, a NATO official confirmed, visiting the country for the first time since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. The surprise trip, coming more than a year after the war began, is highly sensitive and arrives at a time when Ukrainian officials are pushing the Western military alliance to give Kyiv a clearer path to membership. Ukraine’s government formally requested “accelerated accession” to join NATO in September last year. But while NATO promised in 2008 that Ukraine will eventually become a member, most allies — including the U.S. — have been wary of creating a concrete pathway to the alliance for Kyiv while war rages on. The issue has fueled frustration and disagreements within the alliance. While all allies agree Ukraine cannot become part of NATO right now, some Eastern flank members are pushing for the alliance to give Kyiv at least a symbolic gesture that it is moving closer to NATO. The debate w...

Eager to contribute, Orioles’ Mike Baumann is embracing his move to the bullpen: ‘It’s been pretty electric’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

Pitching out of the bullpen rather than the rotation is “like playing a different sport,” Orioles reliever Bryan Baker said. But Mike Baumann has handled that transition with aplomb.The 27-year-old right-hander entered spring training as one of a dozen pitchers vying to be Baltimore’s five starting pitchers, but late in camp, the Orioles elected to permanently convert Baumann to a short-relief role. He’s since excelled, allowing one run over 10 1/3 innings, including a scoreless ninth Wednesday as Baltimore shut out the Washington Nationals for a second straight game.“My thought was that if this is how I can help the team, then this is what I want to do,” Baumann said. “If this is what you guys think I’ll be better at, then absolutely, I’d love to be able to help contribute.”Although most of Baumann’s major league appearances entering this season came as a reliever, the possibility of a return to starting remained, an...
