DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: I am in a relationship with a man of substantial means. I’m well-educated, but never made a lot of money from my education. My money comes from a relationship I had with a man who died a year and a half ago.
I think I may be in love with my current beau, but he has never loved anyone from the middle class. We both have children from previous marriages. I have grandchildren as well. Should I let nature take its course, or become more assertive in pursuing more out of our relationship? — TENTATIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR TENTATIVE: Although you may be tempted to become more assertive about pursuing “more,” take the slower route and get to know this “substantial” gentleman better. He may or may NOT be biased against folks from less fortunate circumstances, but you won’t know unless you give yourself the time to see what develops.
