My son confided that his fiancée is pregnant with our first grandchild. He asked me not to share this information with my wife, his mother.
DEAR ABBY: My son recently confided that his fiancée is pregnant with our first grandchild. He asked me not to share this information with my wife, his mother. He knew she would be upset because he was in the process of breaking up with his fiancée. I told him I would keep his confidence for a short while, but that he should please tell Mom soon.
DEAR IN RETROSPECT: No, you were not wrong. Because you were asked to keep this in confidence, it was not “your” news to share. Your adult son asked you to keep this to yourself, and it would have been wrong to betray it before he was ready to tell his mother himself. Even if he breaks up with his partner, that baby will be a part of all of your lives for the foreseeable future. Move forward and put this spat to rest.DEAR ABBY: After 17 years, my hubby and I separated.
