To think it’s daft Getting engaged after 6 months when

[MummyCool19]

The only real time you see each is other is every weekend when the dc are at their dads.

A “friend” left husband last year. She’s since met a new man in October. All social media shows them doing dates etc together and the odd one with her hound dc.
Aibu to think getting engaged etc when you haven’t spent any real time as a family is crazy?

And how bloody lucky she is to have every single weekend from Friday until Sunday without her dc to do dates etc 😩😂

Red flags everywhere.

Crazy.

Why is it lucky to have to be apart from your kids every weekend?

Yes, but I wouldn't share this view with the happy couple

Take heart in knowing that the wedding will never happen. I’ve seen it far too many times. The engagement is the big gesture in the honeymoon period. It rarely actually means the guy wants to marry her. He’s keeping her sweet until better options appear.

That's not lucky. When does she get to go out with her DC and do fun stuff instead of homework, tea, bed?

Be careful what you wish for, the grass is isn't always greener.

Honestly I quite enjoy the time my kids are at their dads. Wouldn't call it lucky though.

Anyway, yes its mad.

Is she even divorced?

This might end in tears when weekends and children collide.

Have the kids even met the new man if they are dads every weekend? I dont understand the rush??? Im assuming she isnt divorced yet?

Are you sure she met this man just after she left her husband? Or perhaps that’s the public version? Or am I just being bitchy?

Wow yeah that's a bit messed up. He definitely needs to meet her kids before they get engaged! He's only known one side of her, never seen her as a mum.

Not divorced yet. He’s absolutely crazy in love with her, his social media is all about her.

He’s met her kids, playing happy families when they are together

I wouldn't over think it if it's not hurting anyone, does it really matter if they are happy?
I got married five months after meeting my DH and we celebrated 28 years this year, no doubt MN would have thought we were daft too?

He’s crazy in love with her.

They have some days with the kids but act like the perfect family when they do. All photos on social media.

She was with someone else when she left dh so he isn’t the other man

Ok if he's met the kids it's not too bad?! Maybe they will have a long engagement and get to know eachother as a family then?

I got engaged to my husband after 6 months, and he had a 9 year old at the time. She's 25 now and all's well!

Dragon and pink house- do you only ever do fun things at the weekend? She has 5 full afternoons and evenings with kiddies to enjoy

Hey mummy cool, are you a tad jealous and stalkerish, you mention her presence on social media I every update?

You sound unbelievably jealous.

Or you could keep your nose out??

I was engaged after 3 months. Married three months later. Well over 30 years now.

Probably not the most sensible thing however you seem jealous.

I got engaged after spending 16 days with my husband. 9 days and then a month apart then another 7 and we got engaged. Married Less than a year later and had probably spent in total about 50 days together before the wedding due to distance. I had two kids as well. No social media though so it must have been okay- oh and also the fact we’re still going strong 13 years on...

In most cases it probably is daft. But there is sometimes the odd occasion of 'when you know, you know', though when children are involved it does seem much more daft!

I got with my now husband only on a weekend, we were engaged within the month, married the year after and carried on seeing each other on a weekend for a further few years before moving in. We've been together 10 year now and still happy.

It's nothing to do with you OP.
