"Brian, I don't think your relationship is going anywhere. She's making too many demands too early.
My John was a widower and I felt uncomfortable a couple of years ago when his daughter returned to the farm to live. She took out…"

I see you haven't posted in awhile, so I'm hoping that means that life is treating you well and that things either worked out with the girlfriend or you found someone who is more accepting of the life and love you had with your wife. Best wishes to you.
