Relationships Can Be Odd Sometimes...

Thinking about it, it really is kind of crazy.

Firstly I start off as the toyboy of an older woman who has a child. That child was, to be honest, an annoying brat at times. We were together about 4 years. Sadly, I cheated on her and we split up.

I was off in other areas of the country and came back 2, maybe 3 years later and, wow...that slightly annoying brat of a child had matured - not only physically, but mentally - into a lovely young woman.

In this relationship-to-be I was a bit older! How the tables turn!

We hit it off as people straight away, much to her mum's annoyance at the time, and it took a while to woo her and for us to start a relationship. Thankfully, over a couple of years, her mother warmed to me in this new capacity, we got married and have never looked back. That was 19 years ago now.

She's a great mother-in-law...and I have a lovely wife and children.

It all worked out as it should.

So you dated her mum first, then married her daughter and have a family?
Odd, but if you're happy and remain happy (no longer a wondering eye) then awesome 👍

@Lanie78 It is odd, but yes. I only saw my to-be wife, occasionally, on weekends (she was with her dad during the week) and was very much the stroppy teenager.

...and, obviously, I had cheated on her mum so that made her mum wary. I understood that. But we're close friends now, not just mother-in-law/son-in-law.

@MarkRichardson Not too close I hope, as in hop into bed close 😅
Keep it in your pants and I'm sure all will be good 😂

@Lanie78 No. She's happily married to a lovely young lady, actually my age! Lol!

Bit weird 😬

@Fairydust Not in the slightest. You could argue that some of the subliminal personality traits that I loved in her mum were also in her too.

You could also argue that is why we get on with one child better than another, even though you love them all.

But, whatever. It is what it is. We fell in love and got married. We're happy.

@MarkRichardson

Is it not awkward with the mother, each to their own, not something I could do lol

Date or marry my mothers ex, just doesn’t sit well with me.
