Daughter's disapproval of me...

Hello, all,
I have written before on this thread about my contact with an old jr.high/high school sweetheart with whom I still correspond. He is scheduled for a hearing here in WV near me on the weekend of Oct. 1. This is a rare opportunity to see him and we have talked about it for months. He and I grew up together in the coalfields of WV, encouraging and inspiring each other toward higher education, which neither of us could afford, but we managed it anyway, attending different distant colleges. We managed to maintain sporatic contact even during college and afterward, when he left for Harvard. He is no a judge and mediation lawyer in Boston, and married. I see this visit as a rare opportunity to see an old friend. While visiting my daughter in Louisville this past weekend, I told her of his visit and even suggested we drive down there to meet her family. She reacted very negatively (because he's married), stating her disapproval unequivocally.
Nothing inappropriate is going to occur between the man and me. I will behave just as I would if his wife were present. It is just an opportunity to see him, which is so rare. I've only seen him once before in 40 years!
My daughter is not answering my attempts to call her on the phone now. I'm saddened by this. I think it frightens her in terms of her own marriage in which she would not tolerate any contact on either her or her husband's part with old flames.
Please tell me what you think of my friend's visit, and if I am wrong to see him.

Okay, okay, daughter called and all is fine.
I tried to delete this post but time had passed and couldn't! We are okay!

patty........daughters get weird about mothers. i know.

GLad things are ok with your daughter. Since I think jealousy is a wasted emotion , I cannot see anything wrong with old friends getting together. I still see friends from HS/College as often as I can, both male and female. Hubby does the same. I always figure if he had wanted to marry one of them - he would have. He chose me. So no reason to worry about them now! LOL . I hope you and your friend have a great visit !

Thanks so much, Parker and Faye,
I will behave just the same as if his wife were present. I admire her and know she is a good person and a good wife to him!!!
