You sound calmer. That is good. Getting the family text messaging was a good idea. Is your wife planning to pay for the costs of her romance with family money or with separate money? Or maybe her boyfriend will pay for her ticket. My son, who is 18, pays for his girlfriend's airfare when she comes to visit him. And he doesn't even have a fulltime job. He says he thinks that's what a man does. So that's what he does. He makes me proud of him even though I hate to see him spend all his money on his girlfriend.
