5월 25일 (월) Walk our own way

Walk our own way I am 40 years old and have been on my own since age 17. I'm a college graduate and have a promising career. Four years ago, while working overseas, I met a divorced woman with three children who was working at a minimum-wage job. I became very close to her and her children and helped support them. After coming home, I found myself missing her a great deal. I wrote her and asked her to marry me. She has accepted.   Now I'm scared to death. This is a commitment unlike any I've ever made. When I told my family and friends, they were skeptical and not very supportive. They think the woman may be using me or that I may be confusing love with feeling needed.   I don't know how to respond to these comments. I've never known love, so I don't know if I love her. I do know that I trust her and feel comfortable with her and something is missing when I'm not with her. I've never had these feelings about anyone else. Does that make it love? ## Questions 1. What kind of woman did he meet while working overseas? 2. Did she hold a prestigious job too? 3. What did he do when he became close to her and her children? 4. After coming home, what happened to him? 5. Who proposed first? 6. When he told his family and friends about the marriage, did they understand him? What did they say? ## Discussion Points 1. What do you think he should do? 2. Do you think you could love a divorced woman with children? 3. If your family and friends were not supportive, what would you do if you wanted to marry a divorced woman? 4. If your son were in love with a divorced woman with children, and he wanted to marry her, would you say "yes?" 5. If you married a divorced woman with children, would you have more children with her?
