So my aunt is getting married, she is 45 he's 65. I think that is a big difference. She isn't in love with this guy or anything but she is getting married for companionship. She says that she knew him when she was younger but how does that work? She was 5 and he was 25, or maybe she was 14 and he was 34. Even if you did know him in your younger days that way too much of a difference.
My dad doesn't like the guy, I don't like the guy, My grandmother doesn't like the guy either. My aunt however is still getting married. My dad says that "this shouldn't be a decision she makes on her own, this should include the whole family because he is going to be in our houses. He will be part of our family and he is a bad person that could hurt the family, I don't want him in my house.". I agree with him big time. I think it's bullshit for a person to be brought into a family or even a circle of friends if that person is going to hurt the family or that circle. Kind of like Georges past relationship. I like to think he made that decision to not only make peace for himself but to also calm the circle of friends. I don't think that the decision should fully be pushed by the family or friends but they should very much so be considered.
