I remarried, too, but it was a cobbled-together life.
My adult granddaughter, “Lola,” is in a two-year relationship with a wonderful young man and has been anticipating a proposal.
During a conversation, he mentioned he would not propose to her until he has introduced her to his parents, who live in another state. He says his mother wants him to marry a woman who has never been married or divorced and who has not had a child. Lola is divorced and has a young son. This seems to her to be a no-win situation if he won’t propose until she’s met his parents, but he lacks the courage to introduce her to them.DEAR IMPOSSIBLE:
Your granddaughter’s boyfriend is a mama’s boy. The decision of whom to marry should be his, not his mother’s. If, after two years, he cannot summon up the courage to introduce herto his parents, she should quit wasting her time with him because this romance will go no further than it already has.The past couple of years I’ve given $300 to $400 in cash to my personal trainer and his therapist wife for their birthdays and Christmas.
How do I know they just didn’t throw away an unopened card? Maybe I’ve insulted them with the cash? Or someone pilfered it? Or is this a sign of the times?The next time you hand them their cards, say, “I hope you can use what’s inside to get yourself something nice or have some fun.”
