Make them aware of the benefits of prudent financial guidance.dear Ann Landers my husband died in 1988. Our marriage was wonderful. Ten months ago i started to see a Nice gentleman who has since proposed. I have put off giving him an answer because i Felt that i was being unfaithful to my deceased husband. Yesterday while cleaning out a closet 1 came across an old Wallet that belonged to my late husband. It contained two pictures of our children and two photos of a married woman co worker. The pictures were about 15 years old. His co worker was married then and still is. 1 liked her a lot. Why would a happily married Man carry1 two pictures of a married co worker in the 35 years of our marriage. He never carried my picture in his Wallet. F am deeply Hurt and have conic to the conclusion that he had an affair with this woman. With this discovery came the feeling that 1 no longer have to be tied to my husband and i have accepted my Friend s marriage proposal. My children think i am replacing their father and they Are unhappy. Part of me feels that if their lather had a secret affair it should remain a secret. The other part of me says i should Tell my children so they would not be so bitter about Niv remarrying. Freedom Anonymous dear Freedom say nothing to Sully your husband s image. You need not drag your discovery into the picture to justify your remarriage. After three years of your being alone your children should be thrilled that you have someone with whom you can share your life. C creators Syndicate i am a 21-year-old Man a stable and successful a and i am presently seeing a woman who is 19 years my senior. For some reason probably because i look younger than i a people tend to assume that we Are Mother and son. Abby you would not believe the pain and frustration it causes my Girlfriend when people Tell her what a handsome a son Quot she has she does t look anywhere near old enough to be my Mother. Tonight when we came out of a restaurant and the attendant retrieved my car the Young fellow said a gee if my mom had a car like this shed never let me drive it a please let your readers know that assumptions can be rude. 1 doubt there would be a problem if 1 were 40 and she were 19 or 20. Hates assumptions dear hates unfortunately some assumptions a when verbalized a can be cruel As Well As rude. However when a 40-year-old Man is in the company of a 19 or 20-year-old woman the Assumption is More Likely to be that they Are Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Today when people Are living longer and taking better care of themselves physically nutritionally and sometimes with a Little help from a plastic surgeon age is merely a number. But on the Chance that it could be embarrassing its Wise to make no assumptions concerning the relationship Between a male and female.
