Dear Amy: Often when I meet someone new, they'll ask me if I have children. When I say no, they will then ask if I have pets.
I was happy and content with my single life and have had no interest in dating.Last year I went on a group trip to Spain. There were several single older people on the tour.AdvertisementOver the last year we have become great companions.I am not interested in marriage, only friendship.
You do not have to exclude your friend when your daughter is around, thus letting your daughter control your friendship.I hope you will talk with her about this. Reassure her that you have no desire to replace her father and have no thoughts of marrying again. This gentleman and you have both lost spouses, and this friendship has helped you to move through your loss. Ask your daughter to share her own feelings or fears about this relationship, and listen with compassion.
I’m always tempted to ask them why they think a dog or cat can replace a child, but since I know that would be rude, I keep my mouth shut.
