I hate when that happens.
Why get remarried?

When my wife was asked: "If anything happened to your husband," (meaning death,) "would you ever consider marriage again?" The questionner was one of those intrusive characters, he got his come-uppance when my lady replied: "Oh no, I couldn't face all that training again!"

This old thread was a nice trip down memory lane, so many wonderful former members represented.

Being newly widowed, it's hard to know what I would do in the future. At my age, I'd probably stay single and enjoy the companionship of the opposite sex. I have female friends but sometimes it's nice to have conversations with males to get their opinion on things and also to share meals with or just enjoying the outside together.

We had a senior group that had lunches once a month. I think they still do. Also, there are 2 churches in town that offer free lunches to seniors once a month. They accept donations but don't require them. It's a way to get to know people. If you meet a man and seem to have things in common, maybe something will develop. It might be wise to reveal early on that you're only interested in the kind of relationship that you've described in your post.
When I'm ready, I will check out my options. I'm really an introvert so it will be a challenge for me. It's easy for me to sit behind a keyboard and be opiniated. Thanks for your suggestions though.

I was mid 40's before I stumbled across the man I was willing to commit my life to. I told him early on, if anything happened with us I would never marry again. It's been five years since cancer took him. The thought of anyone else sharing my house or my life is pretty off putting to me.
I can't. I just can't. The one person that was supposed to share this house with me is gone. There is no space for anyone else.

Why? It's the course of life. People are born, other people die. Nothing wrong with it.

I think Dave meant he hates when he replies to a poster then learn that it's years old and the poster is no longer on the forum

Oh, same for me! In the last week or so, more than one thread from 2013 was pulled out of the mothballs and before I realized that, it was "who ARE these people?!"

awww bless him... we never even knew he was poorly, he never told us... so it was a big shock when he died...
I've been here 11 years... and I have seen people come and go... people get very sick, people die... and it's all very sad, but we have to come to expect it on a senior forum
However when we lose friends from here who are relatively young, in their 50' and 60's , ...as we have, that's the saddest of all..

There are many here, who like myself, haven't been a part of this community for 10-12 years. While someone may raise the topic again, for us "newbies", if it's a good topic, it's worth revisiting. Sure, someone could start a new thread, or have noticed a questions was old and merely made a comment, but I cut them some slack, I'm old and other people here are supposedly too. Just my opinion. By the way... step away from the milk bones and we both leave here happy.

To answer the original question, I can't envision it that it would be an option. I don't even know anyone I would want to go out on a date with if I were single.

"If I died first, would you marry again?" asked the wife.
"No", said the husband, "I could never marry any again; you're the only wife for me."
"You really need to marry again if I die. I'd hate for you to be alone."
"No, I absolutely will not marry again!"
"Well, if you did, would you live in this house with her?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to marry again."
"Would you let her drive my car?"
"Will you knock it off? How many times do I have to tell you I'll never marry again? There will never be another woman for me!"
"Would you let her use my golf clubs?"
"No, she's left-handed."
"No", said the husband, "I could never marry any again; you're the only wife for me."
"You really need to marry again if I die. I'd hate for you to be alone."
"No, I absolutely will not marry again!"
"Well, if you did, would you live in this house with her?"

I'm sorry for your loss.....hugs.
May he rest peacefully.A couple of Likes brought me back to this thread, thought I'd give an update.
It's been one year and 3 1/2 months since my husband unexpectedly passed in the middle of the night, seems like only yesterday.
I'm living alone now with my dog and cat. I miss and love my husband very much and I will be emotional about just the thought of him for a long, long time, likely until I die.
I still consider myself married to him, and I have zero interest in being with anyone else, I can say that for sure now. It's very sad without him, but our loving memories together fill the hole in my heart every single day.
