My 75 Year Old Uncle is Getting Married!

You heard me, my uncle is 75 years old (76 in a few weeks) and this son of gun is getting or has gotten married!  *eyeroll*

Usually, I get excited about black love.  Hell, I've even shedded tears for folks getting engaged/married who I've never met (Will & Tia, STO & Feyonce, JT's Unc & new bride, etc.), but this time, I'm just out done.

Mind you, my dear, geriatric uncle has been married 4 times (2nd & 3rd wife are the same woman) & he has a few children who are older than is lovely bride *sarcasm & eyeroll*.  The last time I visited with him (a few years ago) he was talking this foolishness and I tried to talk him out of it. 

I have no doubt my uncle has about 10+ years left on him & this wench is just waiting to cash in.  Now he's not wealthy by any means, but he did OK for himself & all of his children are grown. 

He claims he got shafted after the 4th divorce which I why I questioned his motives in doing this yet again and at his age.  His answer was simply, "I don't want to be alone."  *insert Silkee's world renown record scratch here*  WTF?!?!  Y'all have been shacking for damn near a decade and now you don't want to be alone.  Come on Unc.....

I'm all for the institution of marriage but this is sheer & complete madness. 

Oh, did I mention my other uncle told me that most of the men in our family have "had" this chic at one point or another.  She was my cousin's girlfriend 1st & after being with him for a little while, she test drove the crew and somehow ended up with his father - my mama's big brother.

I suppose congratulations are in order.....*Ugh*

  3. Okay again I say

    ewwwwwwww

    While I understand your Uncle not wanting to be alone, if they are already living together why? I suspect she is pressuring him into this. Why would he want a woman that's been with other family members, hell probably STILL with other family members!!!

  5. Unfortunately, I'm related to a bunch of manwhores*. My uncle has a history of "stealing" girlfriends & then flauting them. He just happened to have a nice house, more money & a bigger car than the others & these "women" (I use that term loosely) would choose him over whomever they were with 1st. It's my understanding it was always "bros before hoes" with them - regardless of whomever the chics ended up with.

    *The bright side to this is that their behavior towards some women opened my eyes to a lot of things I wouldn't have learned being under the watchful eye of the grandparents.

  23. I'm sayin', your uncle ain't no rookie. Shoot, he's prolly crept on her with wife 2 & 3 a few times. They've been shacking all of this time, let them have their day. Reminds me of Fred and Donna (only she didn't get with Grady and Bubba). Congrats to the happy couple!!! Ripple for everybody!!!
