A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Me and my husband have been married for year and a half now. I'm 5 months pregnant. His exwife passed away 6 years ago and he has a six year old boy - who's I am a Mom now. I am not sure how to talk to my husband about giving some of ex wife's things away. I know that we need to keep pictures for the son but there are things like her clothes and letters boxed up and things that when he grows up he won't care for.

I told my husband that now is now and we are expecting a child together and when I look in every room of our house there is actually more of the past than today. He tells me that he doesn't have to hold on to all that but on other hand I cannot have him give anything away. In a way he also hurts my feelings by not fully being with me - by in a way being stuck in past.
