When a person marries into a family, they marry into its problems.
If you don’t want to share the responsibility of his mentally ill son, you should not marry this man. Rather than make him choose between the two of you, assume the responsibility for making the decision.
If your fiance doesn’t already know about The National Alliance on Mental Illness , he should look into it. NAMI comprises families with the same problems he is facing, and it might help him to know what has worked for them. Its website isDEAR ABBY: At what age do you stop holding hands when going for walks? I say never, but my boyfriend thinks we’re too old to be holding hands because it’s a teenager thing. I’m 61 and he is 60. I have just started dating again, and I love the feeling of holding his hand. I never had that during my two marriages.
I am white, and he is Black. He says it’s just something Black folks don’t do. I’m not sure about that because I have seen a lot of couples of many ages and races holding hands. How do I get him to understand that holding hands gives me comfort and a good feeling?If you have told your boyfriend you need this and he responds by making excuses and ignoring you, then face it -- he isn’t receptive. Is he also unwilling to hold hands in private? Holding hands is not uncommon in Black culture.
