[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They both have talked about hoping to travel...Ok, 
 so maybe they have realistically maybe eight to ten/twelve years to do that if all goes well. Statistically, traveling after he's 85 is unlikely. And then the odds are she will become his caregiver at some point. So, I just don't see the romance here and I'm not a cynic. There are also adult children to "blend" (all daughters which have been very involved with their widowed parent...so also  likely to be complicated). And there's likely a lot of money involved (see Theresa's house in Shrewsbury which I'm sure is only one part of an extensive baby boomer portfolio!). I  hope she's smart enough to protect herself.

Do you have details about her home? [/quote]

Her house in Shrewsbury IS TINY and only woth 568k. What are you talking about. My house is worth 6 times that and I'm a nobody. [/quote]

Maybe she and her DH downsized once the kids were out of the house. He had kidney disease and may have been on disability for a while. He asked her to start working so that they wouldn't continue paying out of pocket for health insurance, which suggests he didn't have a corporate job. His obituary was beautiful, sounds like a very special man. No mention of his profession. Apparently Theresa got her love of gardening from him.[/quote]

Yes maybe  they downsized. But a 500k home doesn't make her rich....which was my point.[/quote]

Of course not, but at her age in terms of years working as well as financial savvy, she likely has a large portfolio that she accrued over decades no? And she may have had a large windfall from her husband's life insurance. [/quote]

Agree. She may not have a huge house (which she doesn't need) but I think she may have sizable investment portfolio, certainly as compared to Gerry, based on her profession/financial acumen. [/quote]

This could work out quite well since they both have or will come in to a sizable paycheck (him for GB and both of them for the wedding payout).  Theresa can manage the funds!

I saw on some interview clip that Theresa said she taught him how to say her name correctly.  (not tree-sa, but Ter-EE-sa. )She also said that when she watches herself back on the shows, she can see that she was so uncomfortable in front of the cameras, and that she came out of her stilted shell when the cameras were gone in the overnight dates.  And that's when Gerry said he really got to know her and knew she was the one.

You may recall that Lauren (from Arie's season) also had a very hard time being "normal" in front of the camera-people.  But, ultimately, Arie and Lauren have made it work long term.

What we see on camera is not always a true representation of who someone is.  I'm sure many of us would be very awkward trying to date someone with three camera-people dressed in black and putting the spotlight on us.  [/quote]
