Dear Abby: Boyfriend’s mom wants her to chip in for his funeral
Boyfriend’s mom wants her to chip in for his funeral
Like so many other Americans, he didn’t have life insurance or any money to cover his funeral.
For the last 2½ years he had lived with me, and I provided the primary financial support.
If I tell his mother it isn’t my responsibility to pay, she and other family members may never speak to me again.
What is your response to this scenario?
Even if you do pay a third of the funeral expenses, those people may turn away from you anyway.
Yesterday, I Googled his name, and to my surprise his mug shot popped up.
Nothing violent, just stealing.
Am I a fool to want to know this hardened criminal? I am justifiably afraid that he could be big trouble.
