"You understand that his first wife died, right?"

And several months later John's looking to replace her with a 25 year old. Yes, we well understand.

And it was okay that virginity was required for women and not men?

Virginity was required for both. The problem is that there is no evidence that a man is or is not a virgin. If you have a problem with human biology then take that up with God. It's His design not mine.

You rationalize John, to convince yourself of the righteousness of your own selfishness.

How is it selfish to want to give a woman the world? How is it selfish to want to marry someone who wants to marry me?

Treating your wife as you outlined is traditionally the way all decent husbands treated their wives and is certainly not spoiling her.

Anyone who knows us could tell you that I spoiled her. Her parents even say that I spoiled her (and she was their baby too so you know she was spoiled.) If Andie74 has time and chooses to she can confirm this

me->"I fulfilled my vows."

you->And are quickly looking to move on to newer, greener, pastures.

And where did I ever say anything like that? I'd rather have my wife back but that's not in God's plan now is it.

Your wife was "incredibly" loved? Three months after she passes from this earth, you publicly announce your plans to marry a much younger woman and have children.

A. It ws her wish that I remarry. B. With a 5 year old daughter who needs a mom and me being a young man yet (half my life still ahead of me) it was a done deal that I would remarry. (her parents even gave me support and permission before the funeral so you can be upset at them too).

What's wrong with admitting the inevitable?

Furthermore, you a "Christian" man say, were it not for the fact that you want children, you'd just run around like the younger guys in their twenties.

No. If it were not for the fact that I am a Christian. I believe according to the bible dating is wrong (we are not to defraud one another. How can I express romantic interest in someone who I would not marry, it's misleading them.)

Such premature pronouncements are unseemly, John and deeply disturbing. There was no appropriate mourning period.

The mourning period is now. Lets say for example that a 21 year old woman loses her husband in Iraq. Is is wrong to assume that she will one day remarry? No. It's inevitable.

From the start of these conversations I've made it clear that I wasn't even looking until June. I've also related how my wife wasn't really herself for the last year of her life (debilitating mental illness). I've been mourning since last March. And will continue mourning until I go to heaven myself. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop living. My daughter needs her daddy to be truly alive.

And when they began to date, they weren't making public announcements about how they were moving on to "greener" pastures, either.

Show me once, in all the threads on FreeRepublic, where I said that to anyone. You and another female poster whose name I will not even mention seem to thrive on making false statements about me. I demand that you prove it or apologize. You have made it painfully obvious your wife's premature death is a second chance for you to get what you so desperately wanted and she couldn't give you.

What I desperately want is to have more children with my wife. She's in heaven now so that's kind of out of the question. You would rather I leave my daughter with no mother, no brother or sisters and a father who sits by his wife's empty bed crying all day? How can you have talked to me so many times and not have the slightest understanding of this? What personal experience of yours biases you this way?

Your relief over the new opportunities her unfortunate demise has brought you,...

Again you make false statements. Prove it or apologize.

You are going to find your deceased wife is not so easily replaced.

She will never be replaced. She cannot be replaced.

And several months later John's looking to replace her with a 25 year old.

If the woman that God has for me is 25 or 35 what business is it of yours to approve or disapprove? Who made you the judge of everyone else's happiness.

Does it offend you that I want children? If so, why. Why should it matter to you if I can find a wife who's younger who wants to marry me. What business is it of yours to deny her the chance to be with the man she loves.

I really don't understand why you seem to take this all so personally. Did someone leave you for a younger woman? If so, I'm not him. I stayed by my wife's side until God took her home. "Till death do us part" means exactly that.

I don't see how continuing conversation with you benefits anyone. May God bless you and keep you, and heal you of whatever hurts you carry.
