DEAR ABBY: My sister “Maddy” and I were best friends. She was a great sister to all of us growing up. She was a successful career woman and helped many in our family.

She met a British guy online, got married and moved to the U.K. When they visited, we noticed Maddy had become a different person. She had lost her decisive personality and had become a docile, “can’t go anywhere without my husband” individual. She couldn’t even spend her own pension unless her husband approved it.
