Hello Pacific,
I had to use a calculator so as not to make any mistakes on my calculations. Your GF now is a widow for 13 years. The guy approached her two years after her husband's death -- that makes it 11 years ago. So now you are annoyed because your GF divulged this information with you?
I can consider myself conservative as well, Pacific..and that is my upbringing. But surely I won't take revelations like this the way you do. If I am your girlfriend, I will be very, very, very scared to tell you anything specially that you have the tendencies to get upset about my past. But how will you live with your girlfriend, knowing she's 50 and she's had a bit of story to share? Surely, the things she's got to share is there not to annoy or upset you. She's sharing them with you because she's considering you a part of her life now.
