Subject She's cute but clueless, 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. My uncle is sixty four years old 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: and he's still got a lot of life in him. 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: He recently got engaged and the family didn't know he 12 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: was that serious about this woman. She's cute, but she's clueless. 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: She's fifty seven years old and she got divorced about 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 1: four years ago and doesn't know how to do anything 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: for herself. She's never paid bills, bug grocery, or put 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: gas in her car. My uncle thinks it's cute, but 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: as he gets older, it won't be practical. My mother 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: and I went to visit them after their engagement, and 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: she was dressed in something that looked like lingerie. She 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: knew we were coming, so my mother and I were 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: wondering why she chose to entertain us like that. I 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: asked her if she was going to do a wedding registry, 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: and she said she doesn't need anything, but people could 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: give her gift cards to Neiman Marcus or Sacks because 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: she had no use for kitchen appliances and vacuums. My 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: mother looked over at my uncle and he was smising 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: like that was okay. That led us to know that 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: he's sprung. She has two grown sons that did everything 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: for her after her divorce, and they've even complained to 30 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: me and my mom that their mother has lived a 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: very sheltered life. Why am I so concerned? Because my 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: uncle sits on several boards of civic organizations, and he's 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: the local president of his fraternity. He has gala's and 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: social events where my deceased aunt used to go with him, 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: and she could hold a conversation with anyone and represent 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: my uncle with class. She was educated and accomplished. But 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: his new fiance is just pretty All we want is 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: his happiness. So if you tell me he's happy, I'll 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: leave it alone. But what if he's making a huge mistake? 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: Should my mom and I have a heart to heart 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: with him. Wow, go ahead and have a heart to 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: heart with him. If you want to cause a major 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: rift slash fight in your family, mind your business, ladies. 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with you. This is who 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: you're sixty four year old uncle has chosen to marry, 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: and that's that. I mean, who are you to judge him? 47 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: And who are you to judge her? He will not 48 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: thank you for pulling him to the side and talking 49 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: to him about her. He will resent you. And please 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: stop comparing her to his late wife. His new fiance 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: is not her, and now your uncle wants someone different apparently, 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: whatever that looks like. So leave them alone, welcome her 53 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: to the family, make her feel comfortable, let them live 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: and be happy.
