Should I confront him about his iPad secrecy?
Before you “confront” him, ask yourself what you intend to do if your worst fears are realized, and be prepared for that. Once that’s done, tell your husband what you have told me — that hiding his texts and emails has made you afraid he has been straying, and you need reassurance.
P.S. In the 33 years my late husband and I were together, I never, ever felt the need to look at his wallet, his mail or email, or phone because he never gave me reason to. He was always very open, and told me I was welcome to. The reverse was also true. Neither of us kept secrets from the other. That is what I would wish for you and Derrick.My 80-year-old mother has always been “difficult.
I am retired, and my husband will be retiring soon. We are considering moving out of state, but I am getting a lot of pushback about it from her friends and a few extended family members.How do I respond to people trying to heap guilt on me for “abandoning my elderly parent”? I would like a snappy comeback to their comments.It seems there is never a shortage of “concerned” individuals speaking out about things that are none of their business.
I vote for telling them the truth with no sugar coating: “Mom and I have never been close. Our communication is infrequent and usually in the form of a monthly text. Her doctors say she’s in excellent health, and we are not worried. This move is something my husband and I have planned for a long time. I’m sure that if anything changes with her you will let me know, and we will handle it then.” Period.
