Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., whose wife passed away last year, announced that he legally remarried last month and then had a celebration with friends and relatives this past weekend.

“Carolyn Grace Moffa and I first met professionally over a decade ago when she worked for Senator Rand Paul. As Senator Paul’s Ag policy staffer until 2016, Carolyn was a very early proponent and practitioner of Making America Healthy Again. She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago. Carolyn has not previously been married. I have four adult children, who are all married to wonderful people, and three grandchildren from my blessed 31 year marriage to Rhonda who I still miss every day,” the lawmaker continued.
This may explain why Massie’s TDS is getting worse.
After a year? Who does that?
He was probably tapping it for a long time.
People of self-professed high principle.
Many men who lose their wives marry soon after. I’m ashamed of all these negative comments because we have no idea of the true situation. However, we can pray for both of them. If I died I would want my husband to be happy again.
Exactly. There’s nothing at all wrong with someone remarrying one year after their spouse dies.
I guess it depends on the situation. I had a friend who remarried pretty fast, but his wife had a long time mental issue where she was “gone” for several years prior to her passing.
No one gave him much grief over “moving” fast.
I’ve been married to my hubby for over 40 years. There is no way I’d even want to date let alone marry after a year of loss. Obviously I’m A different personality.
I noticed a really quick change in his physical appearance after his wife died. I couldn’t even believe it was the same guy. He looks younger and less geeky by a lot.
It is disturbing. And now this.
No crime, but it is still disturbing. Nobody mentions this much, but you can’t not notice.
Oh well...
“Exactly. There’s nothing at all wrong with someone remarrying one year after their spouse dies.”
Nothing wrong but it took me more than a year after my divorce before I knew I was ready for another commitment.
As he admitted, this was a previous friend, never married.
Translation - Massie was probably banging her for a good long while and of course she’s quite a bit younger than him. Also, who posts about their new wife and marriage while stating that you miss your deceased wife everyday? Hope she enjoys being a Congressman’s wife for the next year because Trump wants Massie gone and he probably will be.
Won’t judge but did raise an eyebrow. Imagining widowhood is much worse than divorce and I wonder about people rebounding that fast if there wasn’t some level of relationship going on already.
He would have been better off just keeping quiet about it.
How did he kill his wife?
“After a year? Who does that?”
My dad remarried 6 months after my mom died.....seeing it as very disrespectful to my mom, I called a close relative that is a well respected mental health expert in South Carolina.
After listening to my little pity party without saying a word he said “are you through?”
He then began to bring to my attention that my mother had been taking care of my father for many decades and my father at a fairly advanced age was ill equipped to be alone and take care of himself.
After seeing that side of it I began to realize how unbelievably selfish I was being.
I can’t speak to Massie’s motivations, but I can say first hand that there are legitimate reasons for someone to remarry fairly quickly after losing a spouse.
I hope this helps.
Why did he state he married his new gal “legally?” WHo gets married illegally?
18 year age difference.
“legally remarried”???
As opposed to all those numerous couples who illegally remarry??
I agree with you. And I think we can criticize Massie on various political issues, without jumping all over him that he got remarried. We don’t need to criticize someone’s personal life.In my opinion.
