The comments telling him he needed to “let go” of his wife really rubbed me the wrong way. They didn’t get divorced, she died.

her complaining abt how much time he spent w/ his son was a early indicator that ms girls cornbread wasnt cooked in the middle 😵💫

The commenters are weird for ignoring the fact she’s trying to be called mommy after knowing the son for two months.

I think the other comments were cruel. OP is trying to move on after losing the love of his life and the woman had a child with, of course he’s still gonna speak highly of his wife that passed away. He doesn’t hate Natalie just because he still holds space for his wife.

I think he is ready to date. But she broke the one boundary he set at the expense of the child. Her complaining in the beginning about not having priority over his son alone would’ve been it for me.

She clearly wants a regular family, but a widowed father is definitely not the place to look for that. She got desperate and is also weirdly attached to the son. It's concerning. He shouldn't have been dating someone in the first place though, he places his wife on a pedestal and can't truly love another woman, at least not right now.

Her complaining about him hanging out with his son too much is already a huge red flag !

"Until you let go" um dude no. When you lose a loved one, it isn't a "let go" situation. You still love the person you lost. You just adjust to your new normal dude. Wtf is wrong with people??

OP: I have literally one major boundary and she crossed it
Reddit, unsurprisingly: Erm well but she was actually cool and girlboss it's time to forget your dead wife

It’s also extremely weird for OPs gf to do this behind his back—that alone proves she knew what she was doing was wrong

The gf/ex is the type of woman that will try to erase the mothership’s memories and try to act like she’s the only mother he will ever needs and it doesn’t sit right with me how the comments did not see that and started attacking op.

What are all these comments about? He set a boundary, she broke it…it’s a principle

gf was absolutely wrong but op was really not understanding what people were saying either so that was mildly frustrating

The first red flag was “she really loved that I have a kid” 😳

He’s completely in the right, for the son sakes he needs to know his real mother, Natalie isn’t his fiancee or new wife yet she tried to make a family with him and the son

“Let go of your wife? She was the love of his wife and she died. What does that commenter not understand

glooby :
on the family thing, i dont think she understands that you can be a mother figure and not be "mom". i lost my mum as a kid and she is my mum, but my stepmum who i call by her first name is also family. they hold different but equally important parts in my mind/perception of my family

Grad era :
His boundary wasn’t wrong at all tho. The only thing I’d disagree with is that it’s really up to his son who he views as his mother figure(not saying the gf was a mother figure). If op meets a woman in the future and the son wants to call her mom then I do think that op should respect that
