After my wife passed I remember I going through this. My mother who had two husbands passed on her said, "You poor thing. What will you do?" You are just like one of your sisters." The sister did okay but I wasn't as fortunate. Mom didn't get into another relationship but is still is okay with it because she is always spending time with one of her nine children or their offspring. Mom had nine kids so it really wasn't a big thing. You would think I would be compared to one of my brothers.laugh I can't sometimes really imagine just how smart my mother is. Mom really never has to worry about the other nine kids; Just that sister and me. And now just me since that sister is doing fine just me. But then she sees I am doing okay so she doesn't worry about me now, either. And I owe all that to my mother now. It sure took a while though. Yeah. Don't rush it; Nature doesn't really abhor a vacuum. It took a lot of friends helping out though; Not just mom. Mom was just someone I could turn safely to in the beginning.


Poor u..ya time heals..and definately need family and friends for support to get u through a hard time, anything helps..but thats good your doing better now..


I am glad I am doing better, too. :smile: I have worried my mother so much in the past. She really is enjoying the break I imagine.:smile:

A guy that is fresh out of a relationship, then a week later he starts dating another girl..supposedly so in love and looks like they gonna get married too, they have the rings and everything..just a month of dating, this is what he is doing now..why so quick? why jump from one relationship to a marriage? most people said its a rebound..but i thought a rebound is usually a casual fling to get over his ex, but this is too serious of a relationship to be a rebound..I even read somewhere, when a guy is too happy and too enthusiastic especially at the beginning, especially when he is fresh out of a relationship and if he wasnt the one to call it quits, which is exactly what happened, then the reason for being so happy so fast, is that he wants to make himself believe he is happy, and just trying to fill a void in his life, just doesnt wanna be alone..


Eh....he is going for the world record for most marriages in a single lifetime. laugh

What interest do you have in this man? Is he single or not divorced? I mean, hey, if he was let go, he's a free man. Why the obsession?

most people said its a rebound..but i thought a rebound is usually a casual fling to get over his ex, but this is too serious of a relationship to be a rebound..I even read somewhere, when a guy is too happy and too enthusiastic especially at the beginning, especially when he is fresh out of a relationship and if he wasnt the one to call it quits, which is exactly what happened, then the reason for being so happy so fast, is that he wants to make himself believe he is happy, and just trying to fill a void in his life, just doesnt wanna be alone..

How do you know, 100%, he wasn't HAPPY to be out of the OLD relationship? How do you know,100% he can't really be happy and CONTENT with the NEW old lady?

I was in a relationship and felt alone. I was physically alone for years. I finally ended it. The divorce is in the works. I am relieved. I can now look for someone who will be present.

Gonna' make sure she ain't a nagging old hag. No offense to the beautiful Ms oldhag here.flowerforyou
