Dear Queenie,
My husband died a few years ago and after a long period of mourning I started going out with a man a friend introduced me to and then some other friends introduced me to some other men and when they asked me out I started going out with them too.
I have told them all that I do not intend to get married again, I just enjoy spending some time with them and doing things together now and then. They all were married before too, and now they are divorced or their wives died a while ago, and we all have children and grandchildren and, like me, they are just looking for someone to do things with.
Some of my friends think it is not right for me to be seeing so many men and not getting into any kind of relationship with any one of them.
Queenie, are they right?—Lonely widow
Dear Widow,
No, they are not right. As long as you and these men understand each other’s intentions clearly, you all have every right to date anyone you wish.
