My Boyfriend Won't Fire His Housekeeper
Long Distance Woman Worries About Hired Help
  |
- Dear DoubleTake,I was in a long-distance relationship for 10 years. He has always had an assistant and maids and two years ago hired a housekeeper.She is married and has no children, and moved into his house to live. Her husband stays in another city. When I asked if she misses her husband, she said, "No, it's OK to see him two or three days."This was after she had been away for three weeks.My man couldn't stop talking about her and what a great housekeeper she is. He talks like someone in high school who has a new girlfriend or boyfriend. The housekeeper ate at the table, which none of the employees ever did.When I confronted him about what I observed he told me I was making something out of nothing, and that if it it bothered me he would let her go.We continued our visits once or twice a month. However, he became distant, there was no more intimacy. There was not the verbal communication. He had a heart attack, but I was told I didn't need to come.Months later, he told me I made something out of nothing and there was no way he would fire her because of something I thought was happening. My options are to deal with it or not have the relationship.Am I reading too much into this?
