Dear Queenie,
After my wife died my brother’s wife helped me take care of the house and look after my school-age children.
We used to date when we were in high school, before she met my brother, and I still find her attractive. Now she tells me she and my brother aren’t getting along so well and she still has feelings for me too.
Queenie, how can I deal with all this?—It’s all just too much
Dear Too much,
Your brother and sister-in-law need to work out the problems in their marriage without you and your problems distracting them. Thank her for her help up to now and hire someone to take care of your house and children from now on.
Meanwhile, if you are looking for companionship, join a social group and/or a service club and let it be known that you want to start dating again. You will find you have more opportunities than you can handle.
