Lots of people were hurt when you first broke up. Fifteen years later, he’s a different person — divorced and a dad. There’s a lot to consider.
Dear Lisi: My boyfriend and I were together for years. We came from the same background, our parents knew each other, it was a match made in our communities’ version of heaven. But as soon as we got engaged, I knew I couldn’t go through with it. He didn’t light me on fire. He was solid, kind, smart, loving, but boring, dull and I knew if I married him, I’d run away shortly thereafter.
It’s 15 years later and I just heard that his wife left him. Apparently, she was bored. But now I’m thinking that I’ve lived my exciting years and maybe I should settle down with a good guy, a nice guy, a boring guy.I have a few: First, you mentioned you have a life on the other side of the country from where he lives. Are you willing to uproot and go back to your hometown? I can promise you that if he has children younger than university age , he’s not moving.
How do we navigate this period when our curiosity is peaked but our mom seems to be losing her sharpness?The best thing you can do is to keep asking questions and record or write down her answers. Have your siblings ask the same questions, in a different order, at a different time of day, with a different emphasis and compare notes. Then ask her siblings the same questions and any other family members or friends from her past.
