Her fiance claimed to be from another planet.  This HAD to be a made up letter.  What woman in her right mind would continue a relationship with someone who claimed to be an alien??<br \/>\nShe treated it as a joke until he began announcing his heritage to her family and friends. Even then, she was still considering marrying him!  She said  &#8220;I know he was born in Chicago.&#8221; (As if that makes him normal in any way&#8230;)<br \/>\nIf this is what their relationship was like at the start, think of where it&#8217;s going to go.  She&#8217;ll be forced to accept every little change that comes along.  He&#8217;ll say that it&#8217;s a requirement on his planet.  This is just another guy who wants to have his own way, and has found a novel way to get it.<br \/>\nI&#8217;d put up with a lot of quirks, but I think I&#8217;d pass on this one.  Now, I&#8217;ll find out that Fred is an alien&#8230;and all along I&#8217;ve been making excuses for him.  It would explain his fixation with the Marx Brothers.  *G*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading Dear Abby today, and a young woman wrote in to say that she was in love, and she and her boyfriend were thinking about marrying, but there was one little problem.
