Dad Drops By Son's House For A Casual Visit, But What He Witnesses Left Him SPEECHLESS!

DEAR ABBY: My son is engaged to a girl we all love, but recently, there’s been an issue. My husband was at their house while my son’s fiancee was finishing up getting ready for their date night. (They live 10 minutes from us, and my husband has been there often since his retirement.) When she walked out of the bedroom, he couldn’t help but notice what was written on the mirror.

Apparently, she had written a list of all the things she wanted to talk to my son about that night, including some personal things that, frankly, we had no idea were even an issue. My husband said it looked like a laundry list of complaints, and he was taken aback by the content.

After my husband left their house and returned home, he mentioned the list to me and expressed his concern. He felt that maybe she was being too demanding or critical of our son, and we started to worry about their upcoming marriage. I tried to reassure him that maybe the list was just a way for her to organize her thoughts, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something off.

The next day, my husband brought it up with my son, who seemed surprised that his dad had even seen the list. He told his dad that everything was fine and that his fiancee just likes to communicate openly and honestly about their relationship. He even laughed it off and said that he appreciated her willingness to speak her mind.

I was relieved to hear that, but my husband still has some doubts. He feels that maybe we should talk to our son more about this, but I think we should just let them handle it on their own. What do you think, Abby? Should we intervene or just let them work it out?

It’s no secret that every couple has their own unique way of communicating and working through issues. While some couples may prefer more subtle and gentle approaches, others may be more direct and open in their communication. In this case, it seems that the son’s fiancee is someone who values honesty and openness in her relationship.

While it may have caught the father off guard to see the list on the mirror, it’s clear that the son is not fazed by it and even appreciates his fiancee’s willingness to speak her mind. It’s possible that this is simply their way of communicating and working through issues, and that it doesn’t necessarily mean that there are any major problems in their relationship.

It’s also worth considering that the father may be feeling a bit protective of his son and is worried about the impact that his future daughter-in-law may have on his life. This is understandable, but it’s also important for the father to respect his son’s boundaries and decisions when it comes to his relationship.

Overall, it seems that the son and his fiancee have a clear and open way of communicating, and that they are able to work through their issues in a way that works for them. Unless there are any obvious signs of trouble or abuse in the relationship, it’s probably best for the parents to take a step back and let the couple handle things on their own.
