Well, my good friend met her husband of 3 years now (2nd husband after a divorce & she was 40 with 3 kids) on e-harmony & they are doing great & they DID do a commercial with them...
But another friend who had been divorced twice met a bunch of guys (she was in her 30's w/3 kids & had been in 2 abusive marriages--don't know if that means anything) & dated them & got involved (& I mean sexually--which surprised me that she would jump into that so soon--like 6 weeks after meeting the guys with 3 kids & the dads are not involved at all so she is totally responsible; but I am a totally old lady by this time!! Married 34 yrs. & 54 yrs. old & married to my high school sweet heart...I know...start playing the violins or something...we've got our stuff, believe me!!)--ANYWAY--she met them on match.com. She hung onto one guy for about 1 1/2 yrs. & it was a tumultuous relationship; she would break it off & then go back, etc. Showing up for work crying--bad stuff.
Finally, she broke it off for good. Cried for a week & then signed up on a dating site like "morefishesinthesea" or something like that. And within a week she is dating 6 guys--glowing--lost 20 lbs.--OK I'm jealous & want to borrow the guy just for that--but then she narrows it down & after about 8 weeks she is ENGAGED & is getting married in April.
She has not totally explained what he does for a living--which was a problem with the last husband. In like he doesn't hold a job.
I can't say anything. It's "true love." They go to church...
They probably lead a more sedate lifestyle than we do (except for the SEX!!)--no drinking, no going out to dinner--staying home for family dinners--I don't know--folding laundry together.
Worried for her, though.
