[quote=Anonymous]I think my mom started dating her boyfriend (now of 6 years) within a month of his wife's death. She didn't die suddenly, and it still sounds terrible. But consider a few things: -1-men in their 60s/ 70s who have been married their entire lives may literally not know how to take care of themselves because gender roles were much more defined then. This man was eating like beans and peanut butter. -2- My mom, a widow, had been alone for many years and a friend set her up with this guy so quickly because guys in that age category go like hotcakes (women live much longer and guys date younger women, so there's more competition.) -3- I was a little freaked out myself by the situation, but they have enhanced each others' lives to such an extent that I'm glad he didn't waste too much time (though it would have bothered me terribly if it was my own mom who had died) -4- His children still don't know how soon they began dating, so I do think it's a bit tasteless that he wants to take her to the beach.[/quote]
