Carolyn Hax chat: The 25th anniversary of the column

Join Carolyn Hax and cartoonist Nick Galifianakis for a special chat May 20 for the 25th anniversary of her column. Have a favorite column, cartoon, story or piece of advice from over the years? Submit it below.

Carolyn takes your comments and questions most Fridays about the strange train we call life. Carolyn has hosted this chat since 1998, answering your questions about life, family, relationships and more. Some questions may be adapted into full columns, and transcripts of the chats remain available after each session concludes.

Here’s a glossary of frequently used chat terms. Read transcripts from past live chats here.

Submit your questions below. The question box includes a space for your name, but this is optional. Your submissions are anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself. To reply to other posts, simply include ‘re:’ or ‘to’ the topic in the subject line of your post.

We’re making it easier for you never to miss one of these Friday chats. Sign up here to receive an email right as the chat is about to start.

Are you having trouble loading the Q&A? Certain secured Internet networks and virtual private networks block the chat. Please contact your Internet provider or your employer’s technical support team. Unfortunately, it’s not an issue we can resolve.
