Boyfriends plans for future
are subject to moms approval
DEAR ABBY: My
adult granddaughter,
“Lola,” is in a two-year
relationship with a won
derful young man and has
been anticipating a pro
posal. During a conversa
tion, 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
(due to her ex-husband’s
infidelity) and has a
young son. This seems to
her to be a no-win situa
tion if he won’t propose
until she’s met his par
ents, but he lacks the
courage to introduce her
to them. What is my
granddaughter to do?
She’s so unhappy and dis-
appointed. —
IMPOSSIBLE IN TEXAS
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 her
PROUDLY to his parents,
she should quit wasting
her time with him because
this romance will go no
further than it already has.
DEAR ABBY: I cannot
seem to get over the loss
of my first husband
decades ago. I still think
of him often. I am still
grieving our divorce and
his subsequent marriage
to someone I’d known for
many years. They have
happily gone on with their
lives.
I am a widow now. My
second husband was like
me, dumped by his first
wife, and we cobbled a
life together as best we
could. My problem is that
I can’t stop longing for
my first husband.
Logically, I know we’ll
never be together, even if
he were free from his
marriage to the “other
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
woman.”
How does one ever get
beyond the grief from a
marriage that made me
feel happy, safe and
loved? Do others suffer
for decades? I can’t seem
to move past the sadness,
but would like to be free
of these feelings before I
pass away. — MISSING
THAT LIFE
DEAR MISSING: You
are stuck in a rut of your
own making, grieving the
loss of your first marriage
because there’s nothing
else going on in your life
to distract you. If you
want to get beyond this,
start finding other things
to occupy your time and
your thoughts. Explore
special interest groups
you can join and activities
that will take you out into
the community so you
have less time alone to
brood. And if that isn’t
enough, consider asking
your doctor to refer you to
a licensed mental health
professional.
DEAR ABBY: 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.
When I hand them the
card, they’ll thank me for
the card, but I never hear
another word. 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?
— BITTER IN THE
WEST
DEAR BITTER: 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.”
(If you still want to con
tinue giving them money,
that is!)
Wonderword answer: Confectionary
