Re: I’m shocked
^ True. But with OP’s friend…I’m confused as to what about shi particular widow that attracts him so much. He obviously hasn’t shared his intentions of marrying a “mature” woman with this family yet…b/c they’re looking for a younger girl. And it doesn’t sound like he’s considering other widows (or even divorcees) at this point. From OPs posts so far…it seems that his friend also doesn’t know the girl or her family too well (if at all?).
I don’t see anything wrong with OPs friend wanting to marry someone “mature”. But I’m wondering why he’s so he*l bent on this particular widow (especially since he nor OP has any idea if she’s even willing to marry again).
