I used to go running at night in Langley Park three times a week. Has something happened there? I haven't been over there for a year but it was fine when I left. |
I have a friend who was Mr. Single Guy until he met a single mom with five kids when he was 40. He married her, became Mr. Family Man, and raised the kids as his own. The children are all adults now and some of them have started their own families. Everyone in the family seems to have turned out well. |
You have to read between those not-so-subtle feminist lines ... men are violent, predatory animals and women are never safe from their lascivious ways. |
Maybe she was just being honest. |
That would have been a first for her. |
Yep! Men have everything to lose and nothing to gain from marriage. But all the morons who infest this forum and DC would like for you to believe they have nothing to gain from marriage if they can't sit on their asses and do absolutely nothing. |
What a loser |
The fact that no man would want to marry you (and thus risk his finances and complicate his life) has noooooothing to do with your attitude, I'm sure. |
You should appreciate her honesty even more then. Although, we have to admit, her pronouncements about you were incomplete. I would add "bitter" to her description of you. |
Yep. Bit him too. |
Most women I know who divorced with young children remarried. Not just my social circle, but the moms of my students. W school.
And most of these women married "up" financially and appearance from their exes. I definitely did. It wasn't hard. Don't waste time dating on Match, OkCupid, or POF. Get out and meet men IRL. Tell friends and families that you want to remarry, not just have fun or be a unmarried couple for years. Pick one or two non-negotiable a and don't deviate from that list for first dates. Weeded out many guys with no potential of being a good husband. Don't play games. Fish or cut bait. I dropped several potentials because they wanted to have biokids and I'm done childbearing. Most of the women I know who haven't remarried had teens or college age kids at the time of divorce, never had kids in the first place, or came out as late in life lesbians. |
He's been putting up with her immature bs for god knows how long. I say more power to him--get out there and have fun. |
Tamara's son on RHOC just married a lady with 3 kids, and then he had a baby with her. He cant be older than his early 30s, if that. He barely knew her, and he had no kids of his own. I think they met online. They both appear to be on the special end of the spectrum in terms of mental facilities, so take this data point with a grain of salt. But there are men who will take in a load of kids that aren't theirs, and love them/raise them as their own. Some men love the family aspect of it, especially if they didn't have that growing up. |
