Sorry, side topic.
You mean your ex-wife is a Catholic?
If yes, then you may run into issue, as Catholic doesn't allows divorce (eventhough you're not a Catholic).
You'll need to ensure the Catholic Church agreed to the separation officially (as you're still considered considered as your ex-wife's spouse) on Church paperwork before you can re-marry.

My GF is 17 years younger and we hv been a couple for abt  two and half years.

Not much problems, shes quite matured for her age and Im quite youthful in my outlook of life. Im the more adventurous, she is the more cautious.

There are many things that we complement each other. But there are some challenges:

Family acceptance: some caution at first (both sides). But got better/acceptance once become everyone more familiar.

Health: the senior partner has to be in good shape. I go to gym 4 times a week and am watchful of my food. Have to maintain this.

Career at different stages. She is still at struggling phase. Im past peak. This is potential area for misunderstanding.

So she’s only around for the money? Those type of girls, you can find them everywhere on the streets. No joke.

The worst part is when you are sick and ill in bed, will she take care of you or will she abandon you after she cleans out your bank account? There is nothing worse than being sick in bed while you see your partner sucking your bank account dry

Thanks 4 info. I'll forward 2 him. They settled in Europe, doubt own any property in VN... But your case diff... u hv 2 buy a house after marriage since u hv biz there? Maybe consider a gift 2 her, in d event things x work out?    All d best anyways...

Sorry but why bother entering a relationship in the first place if that is the end goal? Might as well get a sugar baby as it sounds like the same thing. And probably costs less money.

Kids will always be kids. They don’t like the stepdad because of change and unfamiliar environment.

Don’t settle for a gold digger. Wait for a better and more suitable woman to come along. Trust me. I waited for months before I found someone again after my divorce. And it’s harder for me to date as I have full custody of my kids and one of my kids is medically very sick.

Did you try ladies around your age? Older women will be more open to accept divorcees/"buy 1 free 1+", because we know this just as well as men lah okay: "men age like wine, women age like milk". The thing is, when you're well into middle age, it's hard not have tried loving people into marriage, don't you agree?

True story in my extended family circle:



Likewise, I hope men can also be more open to accepting divorced women but I guess thanks to the very same saying, women are instead degraded in "used goods" and the like... Sad double standards but eh, everyone looks for something different so I can only say that if you're purposely looking for young women, then don't be surprised Pikachu if they're choosy against you, because their market should've been men their age who are less likely to be "used good".

Lastly, I apoglose to all divorcees: my choice of words reflects the social stigma/norm/stereotype and I mean no offense to anyone. I hope you find love (if you're looking).
