Pls Advice A Her! by loveslife(f): 9:52am On Sep 19, 2016

Ok so, my sister met this guy who lost his wife two years Ago. She died giving birth to their fifth child. So he has five children already. After three months of meeting each other, she says he is hinting marriage already. But am kinda scared for her. She is so young and without any experience. I decided to start this thread here cos I was sure to get matured insights. I really would like to know all the odds in this kinda arrangements. I mean marrying a widower with five children. I want to be able to sound convincing enough to her when talking to her about it. Don't want to bore you lots with a long write up. You can ask further questions to better appreciate the issue.

Hmmmmmmm!
Cases like this are always very difficult to handle.
We do not even know if the man truly loves her.
And again, if your sister does not care about him being a widower, let hem be. After all, She is the one that will spend the rest of her life with him.

Re: Pls Advice A Her! by Nobody: 10:18am On Sep 19, 2016

Being a man who already has 5 children, he may not want to have any kids, or more than one with her.
I know someone who is going through this right now.

Ah ah! Lest I forget, he can promise heaven and earth that he would still want to have kids with her, but entering the marriage, she may see that it's a different ball game entirely.

There are other things involved in this kind of arrangement, but the above is something I think should be at the fore of your/her mind as she considers him.

Wish you/her the best.

If I were her, i won't even think twice. I mean, she's so young with no experience so taking care of those kids will be very challenging. Will the kids even accept her? How old are they? You know it's very difficult to please them when you're not their mum. Besides, 3 months is not enough to get married to anyone, they just met now.

Thanks Amyluv, for your quick response. And honestly this is one of the fears I explained to her. But she said she hung out with the kids twice and that they were sweet and on the shy side. Always smiling. Apart from the newly born. The rest are a bit Grown.

Thanks everyone that Has replied. Pls keep the replies coming. Wanna know what the problems might be going forward. She has also requested that the topic be put on front page to get more response. Mods pls do the needful. Don't want my sis making a mistake she might regret for a long time. Thanks! More replies.

Re: Pls Advice A Her! by babythug(f): 12:16pm On Sep 19, 2016

You don't need more comments that what you have up there already!

The man is just pressured to find someone to care for the children!

Don't know how wealthy or not the fellow is but he's not likely to want more than one more child given the no he has already!

You didn't mention her exact age too but if she's as young as you put it then she shouldn't be rushing into marriage especially with someone who has all these children

I think five kids is too much for a young woman who is yet to start having her own children. It would have been better for the man to seek a woman who has had one or two children and who has experience handling kids.
But if your sister really feels she can handle everything that comes along with the union, then I wish her all the best.

Your sister is has been in a relationship with him for three months and "claims" to be noticing marriage passes. Have you considered the fact that it might be your sister who wants to marry. I mean young girls have this crazy belief that dating a old guy qualities them to be matured and we all know majority of ladies think about marriage when dating. If this is the case with you sister, convincing her not to marry will get her married soon.

On the other hand there are cultures or let me say man that feel complete only when there is a wife by their side, maybe this man is one of them. Even if she marries him life wont be as bliss as it might be now. 3months, 5kids and old man should tell her that the arrangement is sick. This is equivalent to being denied happiness and your sister, by agreeing to it will be deliberately doing it to herself.

If you have to lie to protect her, go ahead. Create a stupid scenario, summarizing all these comments grin

To be completely honest she won't be a good enough mum for one kid talk less of five.

I am a step daughter, I use to hate my stepmum and now am grown, i understand it's very very difficult to be a step mum. so am indifferent about her now.

The only person that prepares you for motherhood is your own child.

kids are a huge responsibility that needs a woman who isn't just responsible and considerate, but someone who is emotionally and psychologically attached to the child.

It's either the man is looking for a woman to trap into motherhood or your sister is selfish and greedy. regardless, she will hate it of she marries him.

Marriage is nt all abt love, when d hit comes can she b able to withstand it. D man is just looking 4 a young fresh blood... cheesy

I doubt she knows what it takes to raise five children that are not even yours.

Answer Efemenaxy's questions first. I am sure she will speak words of wisdom afterwards. wink

She's only 29. We haven't brought in our father yet because he has not stated clearly what his intentions are only giving hints. This sister of mine has always been attracted to mature men. She even confided in me that she even as a young gal of 29 she can't marry a guy of 35. This i think is very weird. But then am being very careful not tell her that in order not to seem judgemental. I decided to sample people's opinion bf discussing this thoroughly with her. I need to sound convincing and logical enough.thanks.
