Dear Annie: My wife’s ex-brother-in-law is in love with her

Dear Annie: My wife recently received a dinner invitation from her former brother-in-law to “talk about the old days.”

She is planning on going. I have seen them together a couple of times at weddings/parties, and it’s obvious he has feelings for her.

When I had told her in the past what I’d observed, she confirmed it by saying “she already knew that because he had sent her some romantic messages.”

I’m not a jealous guy. I trust my wife. But I believe it’s improper for her to go because it potentially is leading him on.

What do you think? — Dinner Invitation

Dear Dinner Invitation: What’s improper about her going is that she is a married woman and she knows this man is interested in her.

Either attend the dinner with her, or ask her to decline the invite.
