Coronation Street probably

I get what you mean, but the perpetrator of the act is a big character on Game of Thrones, so....

While queer as folk didn’t treat it nearly as seriously as the rape that it was (I’m pretty sure they even joke about it), and Stuart is a protagonist (even if in sort of an anti-hero way), to be fair to them its shown as an example of Stuart being immoral and the other characters are disapproving of it.

No, I meant it was critical to the narrative outrage: his father reacted to discovering his son, still at school, was involved in this “relationship” is exactly what you would expect, and that clusterfuck was the central plot.

They did it specifically to cause (warranted) outrage? What the fuck...

So, like, that doesn’t exactly make me feel much better. lol

Given the age of consent is 16 in the UK, the intentional outrage (given that was one of the main narrative drivers) required him to be “underage” (which would be 15 in the UK, 17 is some jurisdictions, 20 in others).

My Aunt Dorothy always used to say widowers will marry the first woman who brings them a pot of soup

I don’t know the actual statistics on it. But, anecdotally, I feel like widows are more likely to stay single than widowers, and pretty much for this reason.

My grandmother died young (early 60s) and my grandpa met a widow and married within a year and a half, I think? It was hard at first but he was just always used to having my grandmother and a companion. I don’t think he would still be with us if he didn’t have his wife to keep him company and active. They travel and…

Wait, lol, the younger your daughter is? Are you saying you want to die as soon as possible? Lol

My grandmother lost my grandfather only months before I was born (1987). She mourned his death until the bitter end when she passed away 2 years ago. There is no way she would have ever even thought about seeing someone else. BUT, as much as I think I have that kind of love for the man I’m with now, I would hope…

My grandmother was like that too but probably because she had way more work to do with my grandpa there.

Yes! We have two kids and I just had this conversation after husband said he would start smoking again and be a recluse. nah, we have kids, get a nice lady in here quick. Enough with the crazy romantic ideals.

He doesn’t like plain old magic, but magic with a dash of slave labor excites him.

I’ve told the Mr that if I die, I expect him to hit the dating scene AS SOON as he is able. We have a two-year-old, and right now, I believe she would be an asset. I want her to have a mother figure, and I don’t want my husband to struggle alone. The younger she is, the better the potential outcome.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an interview recently with Terri Irwin where she says almost word for word what Bindi says. My godmother was the same way - after her husband died she was just done looking for another person. She wasn’t even sad about it.

Yes, but he wants to meet Santa Claus, so...

I just got super sad at the “too old for fairy tales”. That’s a level of jaded that makes me wonder how that person functions.

I don’t care if Charlie Hunnam is as dumb or boring as a stone. I need eye candy, desperately.
