    Not really asking for responses...I'm just not in Houston anymore and appreciate ppl in Houston reading this, because I miss Houston, and this is an example of why.

    My best friend at age 38 got diagnosed with cancer...died last year in September--battling it for 2 years...very rough. I became really good friends with his wife during that time. We were friends before, but not like when you share burdens together like cancer.

    I was in Germany at the end, but flew in for the last two weeks. Then returned to Germany.

    Then she text'd me in December (3 months later) saying she got remarried. And 7 months after that, the text saying she is pregnant.

    What she went through for two years when my best friend Art (she called him Arthur) and her were just ready to have a baby, I can't imagine.

    Some may say that she shouldn't have remarried so soon, but not me.

    Cheers Natasha...this photo (just posted on FB) of her new husband (who I haven't met) touching her child is pure bliss.

    Did they think of having a baby anyway? If so, what was their reasoning (in not doing it) ?

    do you think I should delete the names? serious question. I don't think I need to. i think i'm good with Natashik on this.

    but of course, I could post the pictures of all the single Olgas, Svetlanas, and Oksanas responding to that picture above (not making this up). Now that would be bad.

    I really don't see a problem with it. If I perished, I would want my wife to live to the fullest. You only get one life, don't spend your life mourning. Congrats to them and the baby to come.

    chemo sterilizes you, essentially.

    Question: by posting this, are you implying that other friend/family of her's did have a problem with her rush to remarriage?

    Secondly, if she got remarried just three months after your friend died, she must have known her current husband for longer than that, no?

    I'm not sure how I feel about this. I would like to think I would mourn for longer if something like this happened to my wife (I'm not married yet though!), don't know if I would be ready that soon. Then again, if you meet someone you can't really pick the time. It just happens. Nevertheless, I would probably have a weird feeling about it as well as being happy for the person.

    I'm sorry about your friend. My girlfriend is a doctor and tells me stories about young people coming in with cancer and it's really heartbreaking. It does remind you that things can end at any moment - - enjoy every minute!

    My thought as well, you don't usually marry someone after three months of relationship. Sounds like she already dated him when your friend was alive? :confused:

    Or was she diggin him for years and then when her husband died the feelings went bonkers?

    She was cheating on her dying husband. Three months after your husband dies of a terminal illness and you are already remarried... Yeah, sure...

    You would think a hard breakup in a serious relationship with plans of a wedding and baby could take longer than three months sometimes for some to start healing and moving forward with meeting new people. But they were married, is that you OP in the picture? Maybe looking for some acceptance in this whole deal??? You did allow your feelings to get in the way when you were making this thread since you start off by focusing alot on your friendship with her and that yall did get closer with this tragedy... I almost thought for a second you were gonna say that you fell in love with her. Hmmm interesting.......

    Seems like she may have been banging him when her husband was dying. Pathetic.

    This hoe was def cheating on your friend as he battled cancer. You shouldnt feel happy for her, you should condemn her and be a jerk to her kid for the rest of your life. What a pathetic thing to DO.

    Married 3 months after the fiancée death? Yeah, just a little too soon. 3 months and then marriage is too soon even without all the circumstances. Had to be something going on with the guy before the death.

    I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt here. I knew someone who was in pretty much the same situation and I'm positive that she was not having a relationship with another man while married. A man who had always found her to be attractive and all the while keeping boundaries told me that he had long admired her. Once there were no boundaries, he approached the woman. Who knows if it was true love or the woman was seeking to fill the void of not having someone special in her life.
