She’s asking me to interrogate my friend. I think it’s a bad idea.
: My older sister is a recent widow. Her husband was unfaithful to her several times, but she chose to stay with him.Asking Eric: This young woman is a stranger, but I’m told she’s family and I must take her inOne of his indiscretions was allegedly with a childhood friend of mine, with whom I’ve had sporadic contact over the years. Neither my sister nor I know if anything actually happened, and her husband always denied it.
If she can’t yet – which is understandable – whatever information your friend gives you is just going to add to her grief. We met in 2016 and lived together for two years after he said he wanted to marry me. All the changes I caused were too stressful for him, and so he asked me to move out. I don’t love that he asked you to leave his house and then, two years later, decided he wanted you back. This doesn’t say “respect” to me.He’s not going to do these home repairs. He’s 70, he likes his house, and major renovations are not fun. Even though he loves you, you’re working against comfort and that’s a hard fight to win.
