My Sister is Beside Herself

We need some laws to protect young men from their own biology. We used to have more of them as well as a cultural structure, but those have been systematically stripped away. I'm sure he can't understand that he has been turned into a drone by this succubus.
 
I've met the woman in question twice, actually. She isn't some monster cougar with her claws out. She was quiet, unassuming, polite. I'm not sure how any of this is going to end, but the thought of an upcoming wedding without the blessing of my nephew's parents will be awkward.

Only time will tell how this one plays out I suppose.
 
You can hope that the engagement period will illuminate their different views of life. They are quite different. It could be that he still needs a "mother" figure, and she needs a "son". Not good. Nothing legal has happened yet. 🤞
 
When I was 24, I was seeing a gal who was 36 and had 2 teenage boys.
36 seemed really old at that time, but she was very pretty, fun and put together nicely.
I guess she'd be in her late 70s now.
It was a fun fling, but that's about it.
My cousin married a gal about 12 years older, and 40 years later they are still happy. so it can work.

My 22 year old nephew, her son...has just gotten engaged to a 37 year old woman with two kids!

Let's just say it's not going over very well with the immediate family.

I am appalled at this. I think we kind of understand older men getting into relationships with much younger women because many of us wonder if some men actually ever grow up. But 37 with two kids! I would be freaking out. I feel sorry for your sister, and for him. I think he's going to figure this out eventually.

If she's a nice woman, I don't see what the big deal is. He is certainly an adult, and the age difference is not that great. If there is love and caring there, they should do what makes them happy.

If the son was 37 and his fiancé was 22, there likely would not be that much of a fuss. @Lewkat had some words of wisdom in post 13.
