As a woman who grew up with 5 brothers and a best friend MALE, IN my wedding as a groomsmen b/c he was my best friend growing up, sure I am fine with it and my h is fine with SOME of the men... not all, but some.
But frankly, I think I"m a little bit unusual. My profession has mostly men, I was in the military and I'm used to being friends with NO strings attached, and 90% of the time it's fine. ONce in awhile, My "antennae" does not work well, so be mindful of that. If this single woman is that lonely and has rather quickly adopted you, be careful not to hurt her or mislead her. But as long as you know that even with a few drinks, you won't slip up, then for me, it's fine. And that you are fair to her. Meaning total honesty.
Sorry your kids are hurting. Yes, I'd keep my religious views to myself right now no matter how you want to spin it, it's ALL about making her wrong and I have to wonder if that has EVER brought an unhappy, free woman home...betting no.
So keep that in mind. It also makes it harder for her to think you'd take her back, so don't forget that she'lll tell her family what you say and they're remember your lflaws and how you did not honor or cherish her and they'll say you BROKE YOUR vows first...I've seen it happen.
Just focus A LOT better on the task at hand. You have to. Good luck, (( j ))
