Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:52:33 GMT
Dear Amy: I need your objective opinion. I’m a divorced mom of two and last year, my boyfriend moved in with me, followed by his daughter (age 12). I love them both very much.I helped him through his alcoholism, which stemmed from a tragic event. His first wife died shortly after they got married. More tragic was that when she died, she was expecting their first child together.After some time, he went on to marry another woman, and their daughter was born. That wife got involved in drugs and cheated on him. His health deteriorated and he ended up having life-saving surgery.He now has a great job, no longer drinks, and we are generally happy.The issue is that he often brings up his first wife. He has a pendant of her face on their wedding day hanging in his car. He has also brought me and his daughter to her grave. The marker has a photo of him, and his burial plot is next to hers.He once made a comment that if she hadn’t died, we wouldn’t be together, and his daugh...Harriette Cole: I’m rattled by my friend’s unexplained death
