Love the movie.......but?

I think that a relationship like this is possible as long as your second love realizes that they are the second one, and that you have loved before. It's because of Grace's character that the relationship is possible. She has always been accepting of the fact that Bob had been married before married her, and that she passed away tragically. She doesn't try to gloss over that part of his life, because she realizes that it's there, and it's a part of what made him the man that she's falling in love with.

My mother passed away when I was in my very early 20's. My father went through mourning, and after asking my brother and I if it was okay with us, he began dating again (our mother always knew she would go first, and always told me that she wanted my father to date again). He eventually fell in love again and got married. I didn't have a problem with that, and wouldn't have any problem with her if it weren't for the fact that my father has taken me aside in the past to ask me not to speak about my mother in front of his wife because it makes her feel uncomfortable. I respect his wishes because he is my father, but it hurts to hear that, because it is like she is trying to block out any kind of reminder of a woman that he was married to for more than 30 years and is the mother of his 2 children. If Grace were like that, then in no way could the relationship survive. But when you see them sitting on the couch before she finds the letter, he talks of Elizabeth and she encourages him to go on. With someone that understanding and that open, of course this relationship will be able to survive. Will they have their faults? Of course. But the happy moments will outweigh them.
