Dear Kiki: I feel betrayed by my husband, and I can’t let it go

Dear Kiki: Should I take ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ off my holiday playlist?

Dear Kiki: My dad walked in on me having sex. What do I do?!
My dad and I live in different states, so it’s not hard to avoid him, but Christmas is steadily approaching. How do I diffuse the awkward — an awkward so awkward it gives the word new meaning??
