It Appears that We Have Acquired a Third House

My husband and I bursted out laughing hysterically! Why? I will tell you. Our younger son has been dating like crazy since his divorce. He is not interested in marriage. He tells his dates from the beginning that he only wants companionship. They all agree at first. After one or two dates, they want much more, and then he drops them immediately. When he brings them to his house to hang out and talk or watch TV, they are very impressed with his beautiful house. Each girl sees dollar signs in her eyes, and each asks him why he has such a large house. His response is that it’s his parents’ house, but they live in Florida for 6 months. He tells them he lives in his mommy and daddy’s house. Unfortunately, that doesn’t scare them away.

Maybe he should say his 5 kids are staying with the grandparents!

Well, I guess they have good taste. Maybe he won't marry again. I know someone who has been single a very long time since a divorce, although he does have a steady girlfriend.

Thanks! He would prefer a companion. Marriage is the furthest thing from his mind, at least for now. Only time will tell. Just as long as he’s happy, we’re happy. (Even if he dates another Brazilian girl! )

Good move from your son, but you know, those gold digger think that... sooner or later, the house will be "his" house.

that would scare most girls off thinking he lives with Mommy and Daddy. I understand how your son is feeling I was that way after my children's father and I split up. It wasn't until I met my current boyfriend about 2 years later that I actually wanted to commit to anyone. I was terrified at first of giving in to any feelings for him.

I think my son feels like you did. It will take him time to trust anyone again. Right now, he is only looking for companionship and no strings attached. These girls all agree and after the first date are expecting more. We just want him to be happy.

Let’s just say he knows what he wants and what he doesn’t want. Thank you! I loved that house from the moment I saw it. And it’s only 5 minutes from our house up north. Yes, we call those ladies gold diggers here. They all seem to want a sugar daddy, and my son can tell instantly.

@rakski I did after he told us about the first one he brought there. They all want to go to bars or clubs or other crazy places after he takes them out to dinner, but those are not his thing. He doesn’t drink and is a vegetarian, and very much into his body. lol He can either drive them home or hang at his place. Such problems!

I told him that as well, but most of his dates live with their parents or with roommates. They are also being cautious these days, as most girls should be. He’s discussed that with us, too. He’s very open, which we appreciate.

The more that they will see dollar signs, with parents having several houses which he will eventually inherit. I think your son is just taking his time out. Don't he have kids from previous relationship?

Sometimes we think we will never marry again. I was married once, and after my divorce I said I would never marry again. I am single now, but my heart has changed. If I find love again, I think I would marry again. I hope he finds a girl that isn't after his money and who will treat him the way he deserves to be treated. At the moment, he should just enjoy life after divorce.

Thanks so much for your wise and kind words. I believe time heals most wounds. Hopefully, you and my son will find love and happiness again. His divorce was recently finalized, and his ex turned out to be a cheater and liar. He has to lick his wounds and recover.

One of the main differences between men and women--the former want companionship every now and then--women want marriage/commitment for more than 3-4 days/nights
