Will you marry against the wishes of your child?

I think it depends how long has the woman now been in the childs life? Personally I would wait and hope the woman would wait also until the child was ready to accept the change in his life. I would not be happy to force another man into my childrens life if they were unhappy about it id try to work around the issues so that everyone could be happy and if that took a while longer then so be it

according to me first he should give some time to his son and understand that why he does not like her maybe she does not love him,so the man should understand his son's feeling other wise life becoming dissaster. One thing can do that if girl loves him but yet son is not accepting so ,that girl spend more time with him and understand his feeling and when boy will love her so they can get married.

I think that the child should have his wishes heard and considered. If I was about to get married but my son asked me not to I would have a detailed discussion with him. I would try to understand why he didn't want to me to get married. It can be challenging to be a step parent if the child hates his or her step parent. Good luck to your friend.

hi,hireshd.It's a great pity to lose his mother for a little boy,especially a this early age.but,it's too hard to raise a children for a man without a wife,especially if he has a lot of work to do.so I think it's a good thing for your friend to marry a new wife and bring the child a new mum.but it can be carried out only when the child willing to accept a new mum,for fear that bring a lot of trouble.though your friend and his girlfriend can't hold their wedding very soon,they can now do many things helpful to make them a happy family,like taking care of the child together ,taking him out for fun and so on.I believe if the two adults inject enough love and attention into the child,the child will glad to accept a new mum. have a nice day!

How long it has been since his wife(RIP) passed away has not been mentioned, but since you mentioned 'a cute little son' i suppose it has not been much. Anyway, life is rough as it is. Fighting against it on your own is a hard task, that is one of the main reasons people seek companionship of a beloved one. Also rising a kid is a big responsibility. It is understandable your friend is seeking to marry with his girlfriend. But the child's thoughts should be taken into account aswell. It must be a great shock for him to loose his mother at an early age. Now a step-mother would be another shock if he doesnt get along well with her. The best answer for your friend would be to wait some more time, and to try making the child and his girl friend spend more time together. If the child knows her well and told the situation by his father honestly he would understand. The lady should be understandable about child's need for some time aswell, if she cares for your friend. If she insists on getting married against child's wishes, she wouldnt be a proper candidate for marriage.
