Dear Amy: I’m a widowed woman (62) and met a man (36) with two young children.

We’ve been in a relationship for three years and so far I’ve yet to meet his siblings or mom, I can’t go in his house, and we’ve only been intimate a few times.
Our “relationship” consists of phone calls and text messages.
I’ve invited him and the kids to holiday and birthday meals, but he’s always got other plans. I’m never invited to any family gatherings.

Constance left James. He was shattered and confided in me that she must have been miserable to leave the financial security he provided. The thing is — she still has it!
For the past year, Constance and their daughter reside in the house he bought for the family, no strings — or rent — attached.
Their agreement is that she may stay indefinitely. If she decides to move, he would sell the house and she gets half. He also pays her monthly child support ($500 more than is legally required).
When I expressed how generous he was, James elaborated that he wants his daughter to live comfortably, and Constance takes good care of the property.
