re: Widowed Mother Dating Again

And of course I don’t see my mother that often as I live in Stillwater, OK. She still lives in Louisiana.

Have to consider this and be thankful in ways. My mom is single at 72. I'll be back in my hometown at some point this year to look after her for the long haul. My siblings are not willing to so, well...

My parents were married for 47 years. About 1.5 years after my mother died, my father started seeing a lady. It was odd. My father actually died before it got serious, but it was odd.

However odd it was for me, assuming she wasn't after his money (he didn't really have any), I was glad he wasn't alone all the time.

My father in law started dating less than a year after his wife passed. i think it was part out of loneliness. he had been with someone for 42 years and then he was just alone with his grief.

i think its harder for older men to be by themselves - probably because that generation can't really fend for themselves in the house.

luckily he married a really nice lady that is great with the grandkids. i've heard horror stories from my brother in law on his new "stepmom".

Pretty shitty thing to say from someone who Requests Admin more than any other poster on the site.

Do I really?
