Dear Abby: Widower Boyfriend Still Acknowledges Wedding Anniversary | Chattanooga Times Free Press
Abby says the anniversary dinner reflects a long marriage and grief, and the woman should not push him to stop a family tradition.
- A woman dating a man for 10 months expressed concern after he gathered with family to commemorate his wedding anniversary, noting the widower was married for 45 years before his wife died two years ago.
- Feeling excluded from the dinner, the writer worries he still feels married, causing her to question if he is truly ready for a new relationship after his wife's death.
- In her letter, the writer asks Dear Abby if she is being unreasonable and questions whether she should request that he refrain from such "Celebrations" in the future.
- Addressing the history, Abby noted that the man had nearly 50 years of history with his late wife and advised the writer not to take the family dinner personally.
- Looking forward, Abby warned that insisting he stop these comforting traditions would be foolish if the writer seeks family acceptance and future celebration.
