Dear Abby: My daughter's thieving boyfriend has put me in a bad situation
Briefly

You didn't say that you are in ill health. You could live another 15 or 20 years and, if you do, your daughter could have wised up and chosen a more suitable partner by then. I do think your idea of creating a trust for her is a good one. However, I see no reason why you should discuss that plan with her now. If you feel the need to explain, do it in a letter to be given to her at the time of your demise.
The response I got from my husband was, 'I'm not responsible for your feelings.' Well, it sure felt like a conversation killer. I am not sure where to go from here.
I have been in counseling, and before separating we tried joint counseling a couple of times. There was an issue I needed to bring up with Grant. When I did, I used the 'I feel when' phrasing that I had practiced with my psychologist.
