    Our parents have been separated ever since I was still young. It has been 14 years since then and it is true that both my mom and dad have been seeing other people. In fact, my mom got married again after five years of separation, this time with a foreign man. Dad, on the other hand, have just been casually dating. It was a problem at first because he brings his girlfriends at home but we just adjusted to it. We never actually thought he would ever want to get married again since his separation with mom because he was only into casual dating. I also don’t think it would be a good idea since his fiancee is just older than me by five years. How do I tell him not to remarry without making him upset?

    Dear Jecky:

    I wonder if you live with your mother and her husband or with your father.

    You mentioned a concern that your father will be upset if you bring up a topic to him. When he gets upset how does it show?

    If your father is not abusive, hasn’t been abusive when he is upset, or otherwise, I suggest you tell him what you think and what you feel clearly, honestly and respectfully. Don’t tell him to not marry this woman, tell him instead how you feel at the thought of him marrying her. Then listen to what he says. You can post here about such a conversation with him, or about any conversation you already had with him and I will give you my input on it, if you want.
