I am a widower in my 50's, my disabled son lives with me, will this be a major problem in finding a new wife?

Question

Will women date someone with this baggage?

Answer 1

If a person cares about you she will not judge you by your situation. She will help you with it.

Answer 2

If they don't then they are not worth it.  Your son comes with you.  If they cannot except him then they are not worthy of your time.  

Answer 3

That would depend on the age of the woman you are seeking.

If you want a trophy, you may as well put your son in an institution.

If you opt for the more mature type, he would probably be a benefit to you.  You didn't give any details as to his handicap or challenges, but most mature women can accommodate your child, if you mean enough to her.

The problem will be in just what YOU are looking for.  Do you want someone young, beautiful and selfish, or someone older, maybe not so beautiful (on the outside), but more nurturing and a true partner?

I know there are a lot of good women out there, looking to be a partner, and I wish you and your son much luck.

Answer 4

Pray about it. There must be a kind-hearted, loving soul out there for you. You are a blessing to your son and since we reap what we sow, you will be blessed too.Take care.

Answer 5

if you speak of your son as baggage,SHAME ON YOU !

Answer 6

Everyone has "baggage" in their life in some way or another. You will definately find someone to start a wonderful relationship with. Be open and honest with whoever you date, if they have a problem with this then you are not meant to be. I have learned so much from my sister in law and she has Downs Syndrome. Once my husbands parent pass away we will gladly have her in our home. Find someone who will love you and your son!

Answer 7

A good, honest, compassionate, loving, open, generous, and worthy woman will.  It's not about her accepting you...it's about you thinking she's special enough for you and your son.

Answer 8

I don't see that as baggage at all.

It is very nice that you care for your son and I'm sorry about your loss.

You'll meet the right woman who will accept you and your son.

Anyone who doesn't is not worth your time. Good luck.

Answer 9

Any woman who cares for you but can't accept your son doesn't really care for you fully. Finding a woman who cares for both of you may be a little harder than if your son wasn't there but when you do find someone who cares for both of you then you have found a keeper. Just remember if she cares for you both then don't forget to remind her every now and then that you recognize what she has accepted and you appreciate her for that. Little things go a long way, Mate. Chin up and Good Luck.

Answer 10

I wouldn't have a problem with that. Some women might though. I think you can find a warm and caring person who loves you and doesn't consider your son "baggage".

Answer 11

Your best bet is to find a woman who is older.  If you're looking to make a 21-year-old your woman, then you'll probably have a harder time finding someone willing to deal with the "baggage" that you have.  But anyone who really loves you would just consider your son an extension of you and deal with it.  It won't be easy, but the relationship with a great woman would work.
