4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

My mother remarried later in life. She met my stepfather at a widow and widowers club and they were together for about 30 years before she died. He recently married again at the age of 92. He was younger than my mother, but his new wife is younger than him, at 70. She's younger than me! They met through church, I believe.

That's the key I think - meeting in person, through social clubs and activities or hobbies.

whats your thought at what age they are married?

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm thrilled for them. It's great to see my stepfather so happy. He was a really good husband to my mum.

It's the same as with people dating at any age. Is the new partner a good person? Are there any red flags? In the end though, adults make their own choices. It really is none of your business - and I say that as kindly as possible.
