Dear Judy,
My husband’s supervisor was my lover for 2 years. We broke up when his wife found out about us. It was excruciatingly painful, at least for me, and I never got over it.
That was 4 years ago. My husband as far as I know never heard about the affair. And I want to keep it that way.
My problem is the supervisor died 2 days ago and the funeral is on late Monday afternoon. Everyone we know will be there and of course my husband will go. I don’t want to go for obvious reasons. I’ll be a basket case.
Also his wife will be at the funeral, and the last thing I want during this time is dagger looks across the church. Do I have to go? My husband wants me there and it will look strange to everyone if I don’t show up.
I’m panicked. Any ideas?
Sharon
Dear Sharon,
I have a very good idea. Fall ill. Drag yourself around the house. Complain of a migraine, sinus trouble, impending swine flu.
Then stay in bed all day. Alone.
Thanks for writing
Judy
