DEAR ANNIE: I love my boyfriend, “Tom,” with all my heart. We’ve been together for almost two years, and he’s never given me a reason not to trust him.

I began to love this woman with all my heart and trusted her with my life. I even allowed her to have my wife’s credit card for the last two years of my wife’s life, to pay for her gas and food.

Nothing more. He offers no rent, and no help with bills. I do all the yard work, cooking and cleaning. I am also in charge of the house maintenance. I do all the real food shopping she and I pay for.
