fiance has problem with tattoo

[schrumly]

Hi,

I have been a widow for 6 years. After I lost my wife of 15 years, I got a tattoo on the back of my shoulder that says in loving memory with my wifes name on it. My fiance has a real problem with this and wants me to remove it. I will not do this because I feel like it would disrespect her memory. I really don't understand why it is such an issue and was just wondering what anybody else thought. Thanks for your help.

I'm surprised you're engaged to her if this is such an issue.

I'd refuse to remove it. You were married and your wife died. If you'd divorced I could understand why she'd have a problem but come on, it's to commemorate someone who died. She's not in competition with her. Unless you're constantly checking the attoo and sighing longingly or something, I see no issue with it.

Does she have any other reason to be jealous of your deceased wife? Is this tattoo literally the only reminder of her that you have around you?
