Dear Massi, My dad has just announced he wants to get married again.
My mother passed away over ten years ago.
We never thought our dad would even think about remarrying, especially now at this age.
He has even spoken to his relatives in Pakistan to find someone for him.
The man is a grandfather.
I don’t know how he can think it’s okay to embarrass the family like this.
I don’t know what to do.
Massi says, It is understandable that you will have a heated emotional response to your father’s wishes, but try and look at his life from his perspective.
He has been alone for over a decade. It is only natural to want companionship.
You are talking about his wish to get married again as if he is doing something immoral or wrong.
Your father is entitled to happiness.
Put your feelings to one side and try and be happy for your father.
