DEAR ANNIE: Recently, I got married after being single and a widow for 23 years. My husband and I are in our late 70s and very active.
We went on a tour to the Midwest. There was a very attractive 70-plus woman with whom I noticed my husband flirting, and she with him. I mentioned that I did not appreciate the attention he was throwing her way, and he assured me it was all in fun.
He has assured me that he loves me and is not interested in anyone else. I can’t seem to get this out of my head. I have prayed on this but to no avail. I thank you in advance for any advice you have on how to handle this situation. I cannot let it go. -- Worried About Wandering Eyes You have a choice in regards to the picture: You can choose to believe him -- that it just got there -- or you can call him out. And perhaps you don’t mind if he looks or even flirts a little with another woman, but it’s the lying that really bothers you. Looking and not touching, or even flirting a little, with someone might be acceptable, but lying about it is a much bigger problem. It is the cover up that creates the most problems.
Another bit of wisdom from my psychiatrist: No one’s symptoms fit one diagnosis perfectly. Stop thinking of your health in terms of a single label; human beings are more complex than that. Labels are for convenience, for helping us communicate.
