Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend has a big picture of her former husband (now deceased) that she keeps next to her pictures of us together and she still wears her wedding ring. I have suggested that she put the picture away, or at least move it somewhere else, but she won’t do it.
Queenie, she doesn’t think this should be a problem. What do you think?—Her new boyfriend
Dear New boyfriend,
I think your girlfriend may not have yet gotten over her husband’s death. Ask her to keep the picture somewhere else and suggest that she might want to join a grief support group. If she will not do that, or if she does and it does not help, you may want to consider whether you want to stay with her.
