We all have choices.   Never compromise your integrity.

My son age 53 met a

My son age 53 met a "wonderful" woman, age 51 online.  They met, liked each other immediately, spent 3 weeks together, and got married, with no friends or family present.  He's divorced with a grown child.  She's a widow with no children.  He comes from a large family.  She has no family except a brother and sister somewhere.  They are both "happy and in love".   We will be meeting her for the first time in a couple of weeks.  Can a marriage like this work out??  Why am I so nervous?

Love is the battery of life....

Dear Granny,
Why be nervous without having a good reason ?   I believe you are worried from the unknown.....   Think possitive: She might be a very nice person, your son may really love her, she might be a perfect wife, and she might be a perfect daughter in law for you.   Be optimistic !    I have a hunch that you don't trust your son to make the right decisions or you had some bad experience in the past.   Please, don't let the past ruin your future.  Give her a fair chance.  Welcome her with fondest love. 
Best regards,

Yes it most definately can...especially considering their age....if they were in their 20's I'd think differently .....I've seen quick marriages work out beautifully. Enjoy your new daughter inlaw.

I don't believe two people just knowing each other only 3 weeks, can possibly be so in love for one, and for two, why the rush? no friends, nor family? why?  And why does a man of 53 yrs. old wait until he is married to this woman, to then introduce her to his friends, and family, and only child? why not before? And how much can they possily know about one another in only 3 weeks, when people that have been married for years, are still learning something new abou each other all the ime.. If you ask me, something smells in Denmark, and marriage Im sorry to say, is not going to survive. This is just my opinion, but I am very seldom wrong...

I hate to say it but those are my sentiments exactly.  You are the first person to express those thoughts that are in my mind too.  Under the circumstances I have to wish them the best - but I will see what "feelings" I get when we meet.  Something just doesn't feel right to me.    I hate myself for having negative thoughts but... we'll see.

Let him learn from his own mistake. Even though there is such a thing as love at first sight, it takes longer to get to know someone than 3 weeks. The best thing you can do is leave it alone and let him see where he went wrong. It may work, then again, it may not. Good Luck.
