Divorces in the Family

Merika · 08-09-2005, 10:06 AM

My brother's wife ran off with her daughter's surgeon after being married for 16 years. It didn't work out....but my brother divorced her anyway. Bad part for him is that he was a preacher for many years and feels this is a personal failure. He doesnt' do the 'sex before marriage' thing...so he's looking for a wife.

Anyway, so he's been annoying the crap out of me to get him posted up on some date sites. He can barely grasp the concept of email...so this is more than a chore. I'm absolutely FRAZZLED just dealing with it all.

He's in his 40's and has a tremendous amount of money and assets. He is a nice looking man. If anyone knows a single lady..... please tell her to email me ASAP! I'll fix her right up.

Actually....what DO you do with family members who are newly divorced and feel so displaced and lonely?

Everyone in my country is dying not to be alone, there's a true phobia of being single. worst part is when one attends marriages - actually, unless they're below 20 and they're coming with friends, they shouldn't even come to such a social event. So I feel your pain.

Make him attend litterature classes, cooking classes, painting classes, he should know a lot of people because of his job... I'm forgeting the most important: walse classes.

Other than that... simply pray every night that he'll run into his future wife the next day at the supermarket... that's what happened in Star's case!

Tell him to join up here. I'd love to hear what a preacher has to say about this site.

Oh, great, you ask a preacher to sign up after my last undignified answer...is there anyway to edit stuff after it's been posted?

Just kidding....that's a great idea, Duke!!!

OH GOOD LORD.... he can't even do EMAIL....much less figure out how to do a forum! I have no idea how he made so much money in his lifetime while being so retarded. We went over how to do email 10 times yesterday and he STILL had to call me for help.

I his SISTER....I can say that!

Oh, Merika, I realize this is a problem, but the way you wrote it, forgive me, but your delivery made me laugh...

Maybe it runs in the family Merika.

I don't know anyone that's single but he sounds really nice though.

I understand your frustration merika. I have a friends that know nothing about the internet or e-mail and trying to explain this stuff can be frustrating to say the least. I had to teach my dad how to use his computer when he got it last march. now he can use his msn messenger, e-mail, surf the net and play crib with me at the zone. the rest of it i do for him. he invites me into his puter and i fix it for him, clean it up, update it because that's too high tech for him to grasp right now. LOL! I don't mind.

be patient, he'll catch on eventually.

It's National singles week in the UK. They are trying to celebrate it as a lifestyle choice but in a rather odd way (National weeks are usually to address negative issues, stopping smoking etc). 48% of adults are single here, it keeps rising.

HAlf the women in Paris are single

I have mixed feelings about it. People are social and do better (health etc) when they live with others, but worse when they are in dysfunctional relationships. I've never lived alone and wasn't sure how I'd cope. It took a while to get used to it. I'm enjoying being single for now. I felt more alone when I was married. I see more of people I love now than I did then. I enjoy having time to myself, as long as it's not too much time. This week I'm off work and all of my close friends and family are abroad, except for my best friend who is in hospital having a baby. I hadn't realised I was so dependent on them, it's a little unsettling.

Will send pic in email.

He's got a great boat, motorcycle, just sold his motor home, kept the big house and has several hundreds of acres of land. Financially speaking... he came out real well in the divorce. I think they settled for a little over $100,000 cash and him paying her daughter's way through college.

Better yet....I'll send you the link to his personal profile on the date site.

HAHAHA I willingly admit that I am a golddigger and you want t
