With her young. kids when in a very new relationship having lost her husband: their father, to cancer a couple of years ago.
Just me thinking it's poor taste or am I old fashioned ?

If she's an influencer then that's her job. Sharing her life on the internet. That's the whole point of them isn't it? Otherwise they aren't influencers. You are supposed to feel like you know them and that they are sharing their lives and recommendations with you.

Well they have been together since the early Summer so think it's fine. She has had a difficult time so give her a chance.

It's an influencer showing kids who likely don't give free and informed consent. That is an issue. Having a partner years after being widowed, meh, what's your beef?

She seems lovely and deserves happiness. The kids seem happy too. I don't think it's anyone's place to judge, she's been through a lot and unless you're in her position, you won't know how you'd feel

If it’s who i think you mean her husband has been dead for nearly 5 years!

She deserves to be happy. No harm at all.

Oh I didn't realise her husband died five years ago . Thought it was my ch less. I lost my own husband and my children even after six years are still in no place to have a man enter their lives in a father figure capacity so I'm possibly projecting. She seems lovely indeed but I did wonder if I was on my own thinking it's all so intense ie Christmas pjs, family photo at Christmas etc after a few months , or is this perfectly natural.

Who is it?

Influencer behaviour is never natural. I don't agree with plastering your kids over SM. I do think that getting a new partner after being widowed is fine and if they want to play happy families that's their business.

Well yes I think it takes a special kind of person to want to splash their life about publicly, including children and partner and I can’t relate to it at all!

can never decide if it’s low confidence and a need for validation and constant feedback (I definitely have friends like this who are the prolific Facebook posters)

Or an arrogance and an enviable self confidence meaning that they know they’re opening themselves up to judgement and just don’t care.

so yes I judge this person (despite not knowing her) for the general over sharing, but not for finding a new partner after being widowed, that’s a very personal thing in terms of when someone feels ready.

Her husband died 5 years ago, shes allowed to move on and be happy, shes only young and shouldnt live her life alone. Her kids seem happy, her family and in laws seem to be happy with their relationship. From whats being said he is known to the family for many years so maybe the girls are comfortable with him because they have known him for years.

This poor girl gets slated for moving on and being happy, she gets slated for showing emotion for her dead husband. She cant win.

She can still love her husband and love a new person too.
