Asking Eric: It tears me apart my new husband thinks nothing of being away from me to take safari trip
- A 69-year-old woman, newly married for a little over a year after being a widow for 43 years, struggles with her husband's planned African Safari trip with his adult son.
- The husband, recently retired, never mentioned this safari plan before marriage but now frequently discusses it, causing emotional pain to his wife who is unsure how to handle it.
- The wife feels torn and upset that her husband wants to travel without her, and she refuses to pay for the trip, expressing hurt that such experiences were not shared when he was single.
- Advice suggests this safari is a rare chance for the husband and his son, who struggles with anxiety and rarely visits, to share a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and encourages the wife to celebrate rather than begrudge it.
- This situation highlights the challenges in transitioning to a new relationship after a long marriage, requiring adjustment and understanding that both partners maintain full lives apart at times.
