My wife suggested I compose my own obituary, but was upset that I listed previous wives and called it bragging.
Dear Abby: My wife suggested I write my own obituary and I drafted the document. Everything in it is accurate, but she objects to mentioning my previous marriages. What do you think?
Recently, my wife suggested I write my own obituary as her parents did. Because I remember dates and places she didn’t know, I drafted the document. Everything in it is accurate, but I emphasized the positive and omitted the negative. Previous marriages? My wife thought mentioning them seemed like I was bragging, although it is factually accurate and the way I would like to be remembered. We haven’t been able to settle our differing views.
