january2011 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Perhaps they didn't want to wait? His life, his girlfriend, his marriage, his choice. If you have a good relationship with him, you can perhaps broach the subject of why they got married so quickly. But really, I don't think it's your concern. Best to just move on and accept that his wife and her children are part of your family now. Or don't accept it. But most likely the second choice will cause a rift. Unless she's really awful (in a general "most people" would agree sense rather than a "we, the family, think so" sense) then just try to be happy for him/them. 1
steveT95 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Sounds like a pretty strong rebound. My mates Dad did the same thing. Expect another divorce soon. 1
cerridwen Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Too bad for the kids who are at the mercy of parents' whims. For their sake especially, I hope it works out. 1
ziggyzip Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 do what my family did with my sisters quickie marriage - sit back and let them live. If it's going to work it will work otherwise it'll melt down and then it's over. No need to sweat the small stuff that does not concern you On the other hand it would be concerning if she's got no job and is using him for money or something. That is not on! 1
Cutiepie1976 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Unless he specifically sought your advice, it's really none of your concern. Their life, their choices. You get to live your life and make the choices you feel are best for you. 1
Author garand Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 that's the deal he doesn't work lazy to the bone
ForeverHopeful1 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 BUT thats not your business anyway, is it? I mean, I dont care what my brother does with his life, and only care that he is happy. Until he tells me otherwise, I am happy for him. Do I like his wife? Not even a little bit. Do I pretend? Absolutely. Lol. It isnt my life. It isnt my relationship. My brother has stood by me through some REALLY stupid decisions in life and for that, I thank him for just supporting me and not trying to run my life, or make MY decisions for me. Support him. Its all you can really do anyway, right?
