Does anybody else think its weird that Pete is dating his dead best friends girlfriend?
I find this quite disturbing and it seems Cherry's morals are even more questionable that Nikki's!

Its quite common actually.
I've known at least two nurses have married the husbands of patients who have died in their care and and a brother who married his brothers widow
yes but they didn't get together after one of them became famous and rich
Both seem happy so that is all that matters.
well i am not sure if it makes her morals questionable, but in this instance, as they were both present when he died, their feelings for each other probably have as much to do with their need to keep Joolz 'alive' as an attraction they might have for each other. they were both very young at the time and living in very vulnerable circumstances, then they wittness the death of a person that means so much to both of them . . .
IMO it doesnt necessarily mean that this is love ever lasting, in fact i believe that the longer pete continues to stay on the limelight the smaller the chances for them as a couple become. pete is at a crossroads in his life, and for now he feels it obviously necessary to hold on to something thats safe, something he knows IMO. in the long run he will have to make a choice which road he takes and only one of them can have spikey(gemma) in it.
and thats where it all starts to look a bit dodgy.
Well it's nice that you are looking ourt for Pete's interests
No one knows whether it will last or not, but as long as they are happy at this moment in time, then that's all that matters where the relationship is concerned really
What I would question, however, is how healthy it is in the long term for either of them. By getting together are they not locking themselves into that time when it was the three of them, Pete, Gemma and Julian knocking around together before the later's tragic death, rather than finding closure and moving on.
Is there really anything there, are they really soulmates, or is it just that it is comforting for them to try and 'hang on' to Julian and those halcyon days in some way by being together?
Maybe it will all work out for them both, maybe it won't, but I sense from some of Pete's comments and actions over the last few weeks a reluctance or apprehensiveness about letting go of the darker parts of his past, as if he finds comfort in the familiarity of the pain. Perhaps this is one of the reasons he found himself unable to embark upon 'new beginnings' with Nikki.
As for celebrity private lives being discussed it happens on here all the time!I never said i knew anything about Cherry's history or morals i simply stated my take on it that it seemsher morals are more questionable than Nikki's.
I dont know your friend obviously...but dont be too harsh towards her...its terribly hard to loose somebody you love and sometimes the only person you feel you can turn to is somebody who loved them too..
If anything they are probably trying to hold on to his memory
Do you? That's nice for you.
Wait until you've been there, then judge.
I lost my husband at 26 and started a new relationship the following year. The whole thing was very hard for me and not an easy decision to make and in addition to all that, I was worried that people might look down on me, just as you are doing to your friend now. My friends didn't.
I question how good a 'friend' you are if you can't support her. I DON'T question your friend's morals at all. She has done noting wrong or disrespectful.
You say you wanted our opinions then you don't like them when those opinions don't gree with your premise, well tough. It seems you are in a minority, and a selfish one at that.
You didn't say you knew about her morals no, but you brought them into question thereby making a [negative] issue of them. Its not like you said 'I think this girl has great morals' you said "Does anybody else think its weird". The answer is no, we don't.
Have we persuaded you? Are you going to give your friend the respect and support she deserves or are you going to continue feeling its weird?

My Uncle was also 26 when he died and this was a long time ago. His wife married a year later and her new husband eventually adopted her daughter. My cousin grew up with a Father figure in her life and had a brother and sister as well. The circumstances were tragic and I have never met my cousin. I do know her Mother and Step Father stayed together until one of them died.
I think most people do what they think is right in a very difficult situation especially when they have a young child.
Pete and Gemma probably made a very close bond as friends as they had been through a horrendous time together. I think it quite natural that it develped into something more serious. This is my ho for what is worth.
There are two seperate issues here IMHO:
1) Why have you only questioned Cherry's morals?
2) Would you expect Pete to never make another friend because one friend died?
