A listener emailed this dilemma for your advice:
Please don’t poke fun at me for my dilemma – it’s seriously affecting my happiness.
I’m 20 and have been dating the man I want to marry. It was love at first sight and we’ve been dating for a year now. The problem is that my mom, my sister and I have been going to see card readers, pyschics, astrologers and palm readers ever since my sister and I were preteens. It’s been all in fun and we think of it as a harmless bit of entertainment, but the problem is one card reader has been very accurate in her predictions about me over the years. When I was 18 she told me that I would be married twice but that the love of my life, my first husband would die suddenly.
I know I’m being ridiculous but the fact that the reader has been right about so much of my life in the past has got me overly worried. I know I’ll not be taken seriously if I tell my boyfriend and so I’ve been keeping this fear inside the last year. I don’t want to lose this man but some days I figure that if I truly love him not marrying him would spare him an untimely death.
Also I can’t picture being married and worrying every evening whether he would make it home from work safely.
What can I do?
