Annie's Mailbox®, June 20

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: My sister, "Vera," is 53 and recently met a man 13 years younger. They have known each other six months and he has already proposed.

Vera is a divorcee with no children who owns her own home and is doing well financially. I am sure she is lonely, but I worry about this relationship. No one in the family has met this man.

I have a comment for "In My Dreams." She has been seeing a man for a few years. Recently she saw him kissing another woman on the cheek. The woman told her that the man told her he wasn't married--which apparently made "In My Dreams" rather angry. Where is the offense? He's NOT married to "In My Dreams"--they've simply been seeing each other for a while and she "wants to be with him"--so it's not like he lied to this strange woman. He didn't tell the woman he was UNATTACHED, just that he wasn't MARRIED. Perhaps she asked him if he was married and he said no--but she didn't ask him if he was seeing anyone, so he didn't elaborate on his answer to "are you married?" And why on earth did she go questioning a strange woman about it instead of the man she's been seeing for a few years? Instead of assuming he's cheating the minute she seems him kissing another woman on the cheek (which may have been a gesture of friendship), why not just ask him about it and trust him to tell her the truth?

"Are you interested for yourself or inquiring for a friend?" What a great answer! This woman really has her act together, good for her.
