interesting weekend.
went up to the lake to get things opened up for the summer, fixed some stuff, cleaned up some stuff, met my moms fiancee for the first time after she started dated him 10 days ago.
yeah, and they are getting married in a few weeks.
i thinks its fair to say my sibling reactions were ones of shock and awe. none of us knew.
he seems nice and legit and all but dayum.
he did say this was his favorite car he ever owned so thats good. current xc60 driver.

Ten days and getting married? Best wishes. My mom was married four times.

One of my wife’s cousin’s just did that - got married to some guy she just met w/o telling any of her kids from previous marriages. She goes to church every Sunday though and routinely reminds people of it. Just one more thing I’m trying not to be p!ssed off about.

My mom has decided to not get remarried but has had a “partner”. For the last 7 Year’s, really nice guy but I think they have both been burned enough times they don’t give a care.

Wait, she kept the entire relationship a secret for 10 years?!?

My mom didn’t do it quite as sudden as that, but it was still surprising to me. Her second husband died in 1997 after a long battle with lung and brain cancer. She met my current stepdad a few months later and they got married shortly afterward. I remember being somewhat caught off guard when she told me she was dating him because it seemed so soon. It makes more sense to me now, since she had had a long time to say goodbye to her late husband while he was terminal and she was taking care of him. I think closure came quicker because of that.
She and my stepdad have now been married for 20 years. He’s probably the best match of her three marriages and he’s a genuinely great guy.

That’s about the timeline for my father-in-law’s third (ish) marriage. And it’s actually been his most successful, something like 10 years now and doing well.

Ahhh family surprises. I remember when my grandfather remarried his 3rd or maybe 4th wife for a second time just like it was yesterday... They lasted a couple years beating all Vegas odds.

Never underestimate the failings of the human heart. The fact it happens amongst us is especially curious given Oppo’s questionable Craigslist habit.

I read it as ‘years’, and I was thinking why did she wait so long to introduce him.

Seems like a nice enough guy but I think she’s in for some surprises of personalities and quirks

Yeah my dad and mom dated 3 years first. She said that was to long and she want going to wait around this time. Sure but 10 days? Not even 10 days, like 4 dates

That’s what I told him when he asked how I felt about it. “Look, nothing personal but if have a hard time feeling comfortable finding a car I like in 10 days”

My grandmother was a serial monogamist. She met/married/divorced five (?) different men. The last round all happened in her ‘80s. Well, not exactly. Both of them died before the last divorce went through. The last one was forced. The children of the groom felt like she was using up their inheritance (she wasn’t), so they had him declared incompetent and filed for divorce on his behalf. Both of them were dealing with multiple health issues. It was when he went into long-term care that they both gave up and died.
Dang. I miss my grandma.

My SO’s mom did something sort of similar. It... didn’t go well. Ended up calling it off literally hours before. Super awkward.
On the bright(?) side they’re still dating three years later and there is no more talk of marriage (that we’re aware of).
