Is a death-bed request to be ignored?

Question - (11 November 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 November 2007)
A male United States age , anonymous writes:

My fiance won't help me collect a debt from the son of my ex-best friend, whose wife asked him to see that I was paid back- a death bed request.

"It's none of my business" says my fiance - "I don't want to get involved." - although she was also a friend of the couple.

When I asked his father nicely to push the kid- that I was broke, he responded with a pompous lecture from him about me wasting money - I had put up with this bum for years on his visits to Florida - living and eating at my home, without any reciprocation.

My answer to him was quite rude - and I was fussed at for my "greed" by my fiance - who also said it's nothing wrong with disobeying a death bed request.

"The problem is between you and the son" she said.

She also allows her friends to criticise me without comment - she says she avoids confrontations.

I've saved her life once, and dragged her into the stock market, even bring her dinner in bed.

We were watching a tv show on hairdressers talk with their customers, and I asked what she said about me to her 20 year weekly hairdresser - and my fiance flew into a rage!

But she tells me she loves me----

dapone 1 agony auntHi.

You should not continue with this death bed Request, unless you have about 50 people who witness this event, and if he was on medication at the time you will be told it was the drugs talking and not his actual wishes, unless something is written down and signed by that person, then i think you are on a loosing streak.

I think by your letter there are other problems in your life and you are using this event as a smoke screen, if you do have other problems then maybe you should write in again and maybe some one can advise you, if you provide the us with your real problem.

Hope this will help you.
