A reader asks about how to deal with her friends' reaction to a new relationship with a widower.
Dear Ellie: I’m a woman in my early 40s, who, with my then-husband, became close friends with three other couples. My marriage was rocky . I sought a divorce four years ago. He soon moved away, remarried.
Several months later, I arrived at the meeting place by taxi, as my car needed repairs. He drove me home. He said that the women felt insecure about what happens as we all age, have health issues and a partner dies. One even said that single women become predators to regain security.Not A Predator Focus on your own truth about this new relationship. Discuss it with your partner. Assure yourselves that the connection was spontaneous and mutual, and that you both still honour his previous marriage through fond memories.Your couples’ group may eventually adjust to your new situation.
I intend to rewrite my will so that the grandchildren receive money, not my daughter. The way her husband operates, I imagine him just getting a bigger cottage with any inheritance. As a mom and grandmother, you have a better role than “grinch” if you gently discuss basic finances with your daughter.
