Six years ago, this 42-year-old man lost his wife, Kate. It took him a couple of years to put himself out there and start dating, and with the first two girlfriends he had, things ended pretty quickly, so he never ended up introducing them to his 16-year-old daughter Sally.
Then, he met a 35-year-old woman named Liz back in November, and he introduced her to Sally a month ago. He was not shocked when Sally wasn’t that nice to Liz.
Sally wasn’t exactly mean, but she treated Liz in a pretty cold manner. Liz took everything in stride and attempted to get Sally to open up by talking with her about music, books, and movies.
Sally wasn’t interested in being friendly, and she simply responded to everything Liz said with a single word and nothing more.
He and Liz were fully aware that it would take Sally some time to come around to there being another woman in his life.
Several weeks ago, Liz dropped by his house to have dinner with him, and she was thrilled to show him her high school yearbook that she had come across.
They flipped through the pages and made jokes about the hairstyles in there and such. One particular photo had a heart drawn over it, and Sally asked why that was. Liz replied that the guy in the photo was her first boyfriend.
“Two days ago, Sally comes to me, telling me she saw Liz “cheating on me” with some random dude,” he explained.
“At no point did I believe my daughter about this. She said she saw her kissing and hugging some guy at the park, and it was just obviously not true. Just the fact she said she saw her at the park was enough to know she was lying. Liz has seasonal allergies; you couldn’t pay her to go to a park in spring.”
