Last year marked the one year anniversary of my mother and her husband being together. Funny thing is, they don't even live together, my mother occasionally lies to him about where she is, and I still don't like her husband. Call it jealousy, but she introduced him to the family the day of my 16th birthday, which just so happened to be the same day as his 42nd birthday. For 15 years my birthday was dedicated to me and now that she met a man with the same birthday as me, I knew that would change ( and it did ).
Now, to me, it just seems strange not to live with someone you're married to. I don;t even think they PLAN on moving in with each other. I heard on the radio that not living together makes the relationship last longer, but it just makes no sense. Don't you marry someone because you want to spend the rest of your life with that person and be with them everyday? Or is her marriage just a business thing? Is she just having the feel of a marriage without actually having the full effect of it?
My mother has, in the past, had other boyfriends that I approved of. Before moving in with one, he spoke to me asking me if it was okay and telling me that I have a room in the apartment any time I needed it. Since I am the youngets and closest to my mother, others usually just buy me things ( i.e. play sets, dogs, or just clothes) to try and get me to like them.
This guy is the epitome of cuban machismo. He wears his buttoned shirt a bit open so his chest hair can pop out. I just don't understand her situation.
His chest hair is hilarious. To me personally it is not a real marriage if you don't live together. You might as well both cheat while your at it. He may seem weird to you, but your mom thinks no different of him. She loves his chest hair and all. Sorry but I don't think that's going to work out great.
