Dear LFTP: Charlie's late wife's letters

• Am I unreasonable to want my husband to get rid of his late wife's love letters?

Mike reads the first Dear LFTP letter: a woman in her mid-sixties, seven years into a second marriage, is bothered that her husband Charlie keeps the love letters from his late wife - his high-school sweetheart - and will not even display her photo. She asks if she is unreasonable. Boova answers from his own story: his dad died when he was 18, his mom dated again within months, and her new man fully honored that his dad was the love of her life - no competition, no ranking. He tells the writer she is projecting the wounds of her own troubled first marriage onto a good man and needs grace, prayer, and likely counseling for the open wound.
