I'm Proud To Get Married with a Widow, and a 7 Years old Son,,,

Indonesia
July 26, 2011 2:41am CST
At first, there's a lot of people and friends, told me that she is not the best woman for you. Eventhough i'm older than she is, but still in my country, the young widow status usually comes with negativities. But I don't care. I lived my life, i hold on through my faith, do the best that i can, to earn something in my life as a man and i just believed in her. Now i'm proving all of my fight, and i can be gently said, that i'm proud to get married with a widow and a 7 years old son. Please share your opinions, that might become some learn things for me, to keep in this faith,,,

You're welcome sofanrahmat. God has great plans for people with good heart, just stay as you are. And I hope you'll be a good father to your step child. Because some step mother/father are so mean to the step child. I hope you'll NOT be like them. Best wishes1

Hehehe,, thank you again nurseclare,,, i'm quite sure that i won't harm kids. I love to play with some kids. I have 5 Nephews and 3 Nieces from my 3 Sisters, and they always trying to play with me. Thank God i love kids. The hardest thing could be the acceptance from my family to my son. I doubt that my father would threat him as his Grandfahter. And also the detail explanation to my son, that actually i'm not his biological father. He knows it, but just litterally. But i'm sure we will figure it out,,, Thanks nurseclare,,,

Sometimes what we are taught to believe and how people think and say becomes least important when it comes to what makes us happy. Because what is the use of all our teachings if it deprives us of our rights to be happy. As long as we are not hurting others it is just right to follow what the heart desires especially if we know that it is worth it.

Hi thetis74, Really appriciate your comments and opinions. And yes, it makes me happy. I always think, do i actually a selfish person, who ignore all of the suggestions from all my friends and family? But, secondly i thought, i'm the one who livin it. So, i've been trying, in a good way, to persuade my parents and my family to understands what i want for my life. With time, it all wrapped up with the happiest moment of my life,, Thank you so much for sharing,,,:)

I admire your great love and sincerity. Here in my country it's not a big deal marrying a widow,maybe some will gossip/s but not a big deal. Age,status is never a hindrance when two people love each other. let the world judge and speak...they're not concern anyway. have a good day always and welcome to mylot jaiho®

Again,let them speak and judge. I wonder who are really happy with their marriage life ,i could guess some are pretending to be happy and cannot file for divorce or separation due to that judgmental society you are living in (so called righteous) yet more immoral. I pity those people who stand and keep pretending and suffered silently than accepting reality and face the world with freedom jaiho®

Hi there JaiHo2009,,, it's very nice to know you too,,, and so much thanks for your comments,,, Maybe in some country, some people just don't care and accepted my kind of relationships. And maybe the same things happened with your country too,,, But unfortunately, in my country, those negativities sometimes killing me. They actually don't have any idea about us, but they always assumes that their opinions and assumptions are true, which sometimes, have no based at all. They just see what they can see. God, it sucks,,, they could just mind their own business, right? But now, i'm through with it. Now people can see me, proving something that i said to them few years ago, that i'll become a responsible man, worthy for a husband, make money for living, and feel proud and happy with my spouse. hehehe,,,, way to long, huh? :) thanks anyway,,, feel free to comments and saying anything here sist,,,

Hahahaha,,, 100% agree with you,,,!! I'm not type of man that could hiding my nervousness and pretends that everything's alright,,, so, i prefer to being honest of my self and living a hard things, than hiding in my mask, pretends that it's the best for me, while it's not. Great thoughts sist,,, hope it would encourage me with my choices,,, God Bless You

So in Indonesia it is normal for a divorced woman to be shunned by your society? So the man rotates three time saying 'I divorce thee' and the woman is out on her ear with a black eye and has to fend for herself and her child? The comment from your fellow countryman above seems to back this up. More strength to you to go against such barbaric attitudes.

Hi, there! I'm so impressed with you.. I think, what you felt for your wife is true love. That's so sweet of you. For me, there's nothing wrong with you marrying a widow. Do what makes you happy. Don't get bothered by what the people around you might think and say. They're not the ones who will live with her, anyway.. It's you. So, stay happy and I hope you'll live a wonderful life with her and her child. :) Make a child of your own.. Hehehehe :)
