Question

I have a friend I have known for 30 years and I have never questioned him on anything he has ever done.  But now I am.  When he and his wife were 50 they adopted her 3 year old neice.  They raised her just like their older children.  he is now 68 and a widower.  The niece and him have always been close (not in a negative way) but now he wants to marry her and she is willing they love each other.  My question Is this ok?  I know I am almost sixty and should know the answer, but what do you think?

well I am far from Ann Landers, but i'll give my opinion, if i'm correct, the neice is apprx. 21 yrs old, you friend has obviously fell in love with her and (visa-Versa)  age is just a  #.  Not that is isn't important, but I understand the concern for your friend, and of course the disrespect for his wife  your friend is 68, lonley, and has a young woman attracted to him for whatever reason.  But my suggestion to you, just continue your friendship as he is he and she is she, all you can do is wish hem the best. It's not right, but life is not right.

That would make her about 21 now...right?  She is probably still very immature...and I would have to say that it wouldn't last long.  He would just be in for heart break.  He might not think about it now; but he would most likely still treat her as a child, telling her how she needs to do things.  Once she's tired of if, she'll most likely be out to the bar, finally ready to sow her wild oats...and they'll both be left miserable.  She'll have this with her the rest of her life too...how her first marriage didn't work out, and it may even afect her when she begins to raise her own children...subconciously feeling that he is her DAD...and may someday do something really stupid with her own family.

Not really.  It is kind of like incest, and a bit creepy.  Is he related to Woody Allen? The thing is, it doesn't seem like it is right, but there really isn't any reason, other than why a 21 year old would want to marry a nearly 70 year old man....especially when she will get the things in an inheritance....But, it isn't really wrong.  Just creepy.

It is legal and I would seriously question what he has been doing grooming her for years, but good luck to him if he is still poking the pig at 68
