Love can grow in anyone, regardless of age, as well as their marital status. There are many single people who fall in love with someone who has been
Even though they are both free to date, widowers cannot be equated with single men. There’s nothing wrong with loving a widower. But if you hope to take your relationship to a more serious level, or not to be kidding, there are a few things you need to know first.
1. Make sure he is divorced
It’s easy to fall into the trap of a relationship with a divorced man who isn’t really divorced yet. So make sure he is divorced and separated from his wife before you start a new relationship with him.
Being in a relationship with a man who isn’t really divorced will only put you in a dilemma. Men who haven’t actually divorced or are in the process of getting a divorce tend to have their attention splitting, not entirely for you.
Launching from Madamenoire, before committing seriously to a previously married couple, be sure to find out their divorce status. Is the divorce trial still ongoing? Has he not officially separated from his wife? Since when is he officially single again?
It is important for you to know the status and information about the divorce before continuing with your partner. Because, having a romance with a widower has its own challenges.
2. Be a supportive partner
Even though the previous relationship has ended, it doesn’t mean the wound will heal quickly. Oftentimes, people who have been divorced experience a change in their outlook on relationships, both in terms of standards for choosing a partner or expectations in relationships. If the wound is still not healing properly, you need to be a supportive partner and always be there when he needs a shoulder to lean on.
Whether it’s actually divorced or still in progress, it’s best to hold back a little at the beginning of the relationship. Even though he doesn’t have a life partner anymore, it doesn’t mean he isn’t on good terms with his old friends, ex-wife’s family and even his ex-wife.
Divorced men have been through a lot in their marriages. It made him a little restrained from taking a new relationship to a more serious level quickly. This means, you need to be patient and move slowly with him.
3. Remember, the ex will still be involved
Especially if he and his ex-wife have children, you must be prepared to meet the ex for children’s affairs. You see, here, he will continue to communicate with his ex-wife about the upbringing of their child. “Even if you don’t have children, the ties to your ex-wife’s family can’t just be let go. Especially if the divorce goes well. It could be that former sister-in-law invites our partner to his wedding. When we are present, the meeting with the ex-wife is inevitable.”
Stay patient, be friendly, and don’t get emotional, no matter what happens between him and his ex-wife. Involve yourself in team work to maintain the growth and development of the baby. Prove that the stigma of an evil stepmother only exists in soap operas!
Being natural when he talks about his past or problems he’s had about his ex is a reflection that you’re mature enough to be with him. Maybe one day you will also meet his ex-wife. You don’t want to look embarrassing just because you can’t control your feelings, do you?
Also, if the ex-wife leaves a very good memory, we should be prepared for our partner to compare us to her. we have to be extra patient and ready to be compared. Muster the ability to win her heart and do your best to be a ‘winner’.”
4. Don’t force yourself to be a new mother for his child
One more thing that should not escape your attention is the existence of a ‘package’ alias child when it comes to you? How did your child feel when they met you?
If your spouse is a widower with children, avoid the expectation that you will be a surrogate for the mother. Besides being able to cause confusion in the child, this can also cause conflict between you, your partner, and the ex-wife. However, divorce does separate husband and wife, but does not separate the relationship between parents and children.
You need to understand the situation when your partner needs time to take care of their child. Also, you need to imagine how you can adapt to them. Because most likely, you will meet his kids. It means, you can’t even talk badly about his mother because it will only hurt their heart.
