Our uncle's first wife passed away about a year ago. She was a wonderful person, and both she and my uncle had worked in the hotel business in NYC (no children). They retired and moved to South Florida where they both lived together for about 5 years.
So recently, our uncle started dating this widow who is about his age. They came over one day, and she was pleasant enough but you could tell that she was assertive in her own way. She said one thing that has left me wondering though. She said "she's had to teach him how to dress since they met." She said she's taken him on shopping trips to make over his entire wardrobe. I'm thinking that there was never anything that I could see wrong with his wardrobe. It didn't sound right to me. What do you think?
I think your uncle's wardrobe is of no concern to you.
He took her fashion advice.. so what? He may have even asked for it! Nothing wrong with new clothes and/or a new look. After all, he IS entering a new chapter in his life.
Also, is there something wrong with her being assertive in her own way? If your uncle likes her enough to date her, she must not be so bad. As long as he likes her and they treat each other well, you should be happy for him.
Uncle is kind of a quiet guy. I think the make-over is something she wanted.
As long as he can afford it, why would there be a problem? Are you worried he's spending part of any inheritance you might have hoped for on clothes? Why do you care?
Uncle is kind of a quiet guy. I think the make-over is something she wanted.
Is he helpless? Spineless? A mute? Did she hold a gun to his head in the dressing room?
If he's quiet as you say, maybe he didn't feel like expressing out loud to YOU that he didn't mind the makeover. Maybe he even enjoyed the attention.
I have four uncles on my dad's side alone and if I expressed such a concern, as a niece, they'd look at me like I'd been dropped on my head one too many times. I know for a fact my dad's quiet, sort of meek but very nice older brother would love to have a woman in his life and this kind of attention from a woman would be right up his alley. My dad while still living was already very fashionable and a woman trying to revamp him wouldn't have gotten far. Everyone's different.
It sounds like you just don't like her. You don't have to, only he does.
