I don't know why but for some reason it just seems weird. I have no problem with my Dad and his girlfriend, she's awesome. I love both my parents to death but for some reason I seem so much more reluctant to accept the fact that my Mom will be seeing other guys. Just seems odd. It might be because I could be overly protective but I'm not gonna get in the way of her being happy.. it's her right. Idk, just all very strange... :?
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town

    How old is your mom? How long has it been since your parents split up?

    fuck i suddenly feel very old right now..... :? :lol:





    seriously, while i've not experienced what you are right now, it always fascinates me, the whole father/mother dynamic...and what is 'acceptable' or not. it's amazing how far we've come, and yet, the social/stereotypical stigmas still hold on some. good luck to you and your mom...and good on you for recognizing the double standard and being supportive of your mom. she needs it. :)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I'm sure it is strange to you - maybe you're just being protective of your mom which is a good thing.
    Also, its hard to imagine having your parents date others. But it seems like they are moving on.

    But, 45 yrs old - is young !! Its good for your mom to get out there and date. She shouldn't be alone and hopefully your mom will find someone who will make her happy.

    I wish her all the best... :D

    Yes, 45 is young! Your mom hopefully has a lot of years ahead of her and it's natural that she may want companionship.

    My circumstances are different but may give you a little perspective. My dad died 4 years ago. My mom is an active 84 year old in good health. And she has a boyfriend! He's the same age as she is and was widowed about the same time as my mom. They are very happy and have a lot of fun together. I think it's awesome. :D

    Children mature and see their parents as people, this usually by their later 20's,
    they see them separate from the roles the children have known since birth.
    It can be a rude awakening and enlightening.

    It becomes apparent their parents are really no different then they themselves are,
    perhaps just a bit wiser ;) and have the same needs and wants.

    It's the parents turn for autonomy taking place from how their kids see them.

    I don't think the op is alone in these feelings at all
    when it comes to divorce and parents starting over with new prospects.

    The wonderful part, they will always be your parents and you will be a family unit,
    this in the beautiful bond that created you! :D

    I'm not sure that it's a double standard, but has something to do with mother/son & father/daughter thing. A female friend of mine had more issues with her divorced father dating than her mother doing so. Who knows... I have not been through that.

    Funny story, may grandfather passed away about 10 years ago. My grandma is like 81, and VERY active... she has her friends, her sewing group, etc.... she is never home. One time she asked my father if he was okay with her spending time with another gentleman lol... At 80+ she was still worried about what my 60 year old father would think about her dating.
