[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one here who thinks the FIL has the right to date whoever he wants to date and to find happiness?

IMO -- too many adult children hate new girl/boyfriends and spouses for no other reason than "HE'S NOT DADDY!" If my Mom or Dad passed on, I'd want to give the new SO a chance at least (and odds are I'd probably already know the person in my parents' case.)

I'm presupposing, of course, (1) there's no evidence of abuse or financial impropriety where the new honey is spending all the money/transferring all the estate to pass to her/him or (2) the new honey is actually nice to all the people involved.

But I don't see evidence of that (maybe I didn't read it closely enough.) [/quote]

You are assuming too much never having been in this situation.

No one is asking for their parents to be alone, just to have the decency to wait to hoist these new flings off on the children of their dead wives immediately after the death or until the grave has a headstone.[/quote]
