Dear Queenie,
My wife died many years ago and I have been alone ever since. Recently I met a woman who seems a lot like her, but she has heart problems and even had to be in the hospital for a while.
Queenie, she says she loves me but I can’t tell if she really cares for me or she is just looking for someone who will take care of her with all her health problems. What do you think?—Undecided
Dear Undecided,
Do not let this woman rush you into making any commitment you may end up regretting. You should know her – and her health problems – for quite a while before you make any commitment to her. Keep on seeing her if you wish, but be sure she understands that you will not make any commitment to her until you have known each other for a long time. And if her heart problems are all that serious, she may not live that long.
