jazzstix said:Thank you for your help, Anna. It is a long story. I met the woman on the internet, became fond of her and her son. I visited her in the DR last February and, knowing her son was studying drumming, I bought her son a drum set. I have been a drummer/percussionist for some time. I wanted to be friends without the pursuing the sexual side. I left the DR and told her that I thought I was too old to be her boyfriend. She was hurt. We continued to communicate via the internet and when she needed financial help, I sent her funds. In November I visited her and her son again. She is 33 and I am 58 years old. In a weak moment I agreed to a civil marriage. A mistake because I just wanted to be good friends and help her son with his drumming. He has a lot of potential. I was not in the relationship to take advantage of her sexually. Nothing ever happened in that respect. She says she loves me but it is not an intimate/passionate love. I have explained to her that it is better to only be friends but she is resisting the idea of an annulment and says she really loves me. So that is the story. I have to resolve this situation in some way. Thanks for your help.
I think you've been fu*ked and didn't even know it. It's probably going to take a monetary settlement to make the anullment idea fly.jazzstix said:Thank you for your help, Anna. It is a long story.

Therefore, my advise is to take the path of least resistance (and expense), just do nothing.
I hope you are not apologizing for me. At least with this advice.Seachange said:First, let me apologize for all the ignorance that's come across in most of the posts. I suppose it demonstrates they don't have much of a life.
Now to a`possible solution to your problem: do nothing. Presumably, this woman and child are short of financial means. That being the case, it's unlikely that anything will happen, ever. She will not have access or resources to make any demands on you in Brazil. Therefore, my advise is to take the path of least resistance (and expense), just do nothing.
