The daughter of my mom's friend is dating someone who had pursued her before, but in whom she wasn't interested - because she couldn't respect him - tai dak m hei. She had gotten divorced from someone else, who was probably more successful and intelligent, but probably catered to her demands too much at first. Because of that, it is possible that he might have had enough before he went looking for love elsewhere, not that bad behavior on her part, if it happened, exculpates him completely from his decision to do so.

So is she settling now, in order to avoid loneliness? From what the mom says, it seems like he is a "nice guy," no doubt a genuine beta.
