By R. Eric Thomas| Oregon Live (The Oregonian) Verified Dear Eric: My oldest sister passed away recently after a lengthy illness. My husband’s first cousins have responded with calls, cards and messages except for one of his cousins. We attended the funeral of this cousin’s mother last year, in another city, sent flowers and my husband spoke at the service. I have yet to receive any acknowledgment from this cousin, even though she and her husband are aware of the death.
By R. Eric Thomas| BOOMER Magazine Verified A woman has given her fiancé an ultimatum: she won’t marry him until his freeloading grown daughters move out of his house. Advice columnist Eric Thomas weighs in. Dear Eric:I am a 62-year-old woman engaged to a 59-year-old man. He is my best friend. The problem? His 25- and 29-year-old daughters do not work or contribute to the household at all. They stay up all night and play games and sleep all day. Thankfully, I have my own home. I refuse to marry him until these “lumps” move out.
