Dear Eric:

My boyfriend and I are in our early 80s. I am divorced and his wife died over two and a half years ago; we have been dating slightly more than a year. We do not plan to marry, but we are in a lifelong, committed relationship. We feel blessed to have found each other at our age.

My family and friends have warmly welcomed him into their lives and even my ex-husband thinks he is wonderful.

He has two daughters, 29 and 39. His daughters have let him know that they have no interest in ever meeting me. He is very fond of both of them and is hurt that they are not happy that he has found joy in his relationship with me. This makes me sad.
