Dear Queenie,
I got married in my late teens, but it only lasted a couple of years. Now, 10 years later, I am engaged to be married again. My fiancee knows about my previous marriage.
Queenie, her parents are coming to visit soon. Do I have to tell them about it?—Disclosure Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Sooner or later – before the wedding! – you should tell your fiancee’s parents that this is not your first marriage. This visit would be a good time to do so. If they start asking you a lot of questions about it, just tell them it was over and done with a long time ago and you do not like to talk about it, but you did not want them to think you were keeping it a secret from them.
