Tough Talk,
After many years of being single, I have met a man who has asked me to marry him. I said yes, but I’m concerned about his sister’s best friend who helps him with his two little children. She is really wonderful with the kids and they really like her too. She is selfless, decent and kind . . . until she sees me. Then she treats me like a pile of crap. Turns out, she tried to date my fiancé, but he wasn’t interested. I don’t want to interfere with the kids and her helping out. But when we’re married, I don’t want her behaving the way she does. What advice do you have TT? (Jewettsville, CO)
Jewettsville,
You need to do a couple things, one, tell your fiancé that she has to go. She can still see the kids, but she’s not be coming over the way she used to. Two, you got to tell her in no uncertain terms that you are going to marry him and not her and to give it up. Imply that she is still carrying the torch for him, whether it’s true or not. Finally, you tell her to watch her mouth and attitude or she is gong regret it. Say it as scary as possible, like a thug or something. If that doesn’t work, consider vandalizing her property.
