Dear Judy,
I am NOT greedy and I’m not interested in any other woman. I’m starting off this way because otherwise you might have suspicions.
My father married twice. Divorced my mother, remarried, then died. Wife No. 2 got pretty much everything, and spends it like crazy. She bought a house at the beach here in North Carolina [...]
Dear Judy,
So last month I go on vacation to the south of France, and some woman I meet on the trip (poolside at a villa belonging to a mutual friend) turns to me and tells me, verbatim: “We have 4 children, all grown..” and “We went to the south of France twice before.” Everything she says [...]
Dear Judy,
My late husband was a partner in a medium-sized law firm, where believe it or not, almost everyone got along really well. Lots of social events, christenings, weddings etc: it was that kind of atmosphere.
When my husband died, everyone went to his funeral, and some of the other partners and the associates have been really [...]
Dear Judy,
My husband died just 3 weeks ago of thrombosis. It was sudden, unexpected, and awful.
But almost as bad is what I have to put up with now that he’s gone: practically every partner in his law firm has told me in one way or another that his death was “merciful” because it was quick. [...]
Dear Judy,
I’ll bet you haven’t received an email like this before. My sister, who is now 40, recently lost her husband who was more than a decade older. I guess the age gap had its effect, because around her he was always like a frisky puppy –or maybe I should say more like one of those [...]
Dear Judy,
I know you’re going to think this is a dumb question. We’re a group of four friends, and one of us lost her husband just 2 months ago. She has 3 kids, ranging in age from 9 to 15. Her husband was a house-husband so until just recently life was pretty easy on her, [...]
Dear Judy,
My husband and I were going through a very nasty divorce, involving 3 kids (17,14 and 10), charges of adultery (mine..but I had my reasons) and of course money (his) — when in the midst of all the legal wrangling he suffered a major stroke. And died about a day later. He was a [...]
Dear Judy,
I have to write what must seem to you like an extremely odd question. My husband dropped dead of a heart attack 4 weeks ago. I know what I just wrote will strike you at least as odd as what I’m about to say, but bear with me.
The two of us did not get along. That’s [...]
