Dear Abby advises a woman who is thinking of ending her engagement.
I am a 60-year-old divorcee. I am currently dating a Danish man and have been for a year. He asked me to marry him several months ago, and I said yes. He wants me and my daughter to move to Denmark. My daughter is 21 and high-functioning autistic, but she still needs me to help with executive functions.
Several months ago, I lost my second job. I got behind on my rent and was evicted. My daughter and I had no place to go and went to live with a friend in another state. When I asked my fiance if he could please help me a little, he refused and became angry, saying he didn’t want to be a sugar daddy.
He tells me often how much he makes and what he has in the bank. I told him I wasn’t asking for jewelry or fancy clothes, just $2,000 so we wouldn’t lose our home. He told me to ask my ex-husband for the money. Because he refused, my daughter and I were evicted from our home. I eventually found a second job, but the damage had been done.
