Dear Amy: I am shocked and hurt by comments my brother-in-law made to me during the recent otherwise wonderful trip my husband and I took with him and my sister.
He is the most physically healthy of all of us, but perhaps he is losing his filters as we aging people sometimes do.We live in separate states and have traveled extensively as couples over the last 15 years – usually twice a year. Both couples have been married for 50 years.My sister and I are best friends.I was shocked, denied this, but was too taken aback to ask why he thought this.
My perspective is that many very happily married people are hitched to partners whom others would deem “wrong.” Your brother-in-law is wrong, and you took the opportunity in the moment to tell him so. Good for you!You have a burning desire to learn why he said this, but ask yourself: What good would it do to hear a recitation of your husband’s unsuitability?
Dear Amy: I’ve included a family Christmas letter along with my Christmas cards for over 30 years now.My husband and I are divorcing this year after over 40 years of marriage.Many people who receive my cards only hear from me once a year, so I honestly don’t know if I should address this.Dear Sad News: Yes, Christmas is a time of hope and celebration, but Christmas letters are also often chronicles of a family’s transitions and passages.
