How much time is appropriate to wait to start dating again after a spouse dies?

My wife’s relative starting dating again after her spouse died within 6 months of his death. Several people in my wife’s family really thought that was inappropriate. My opinion is you have to wait at least a year.

Whatever makes you happy.

Whatever she feels is appropriate is appropriate. Some people wind up never dating again, some go after strange immediately. It's her decision and no one knows how she feels or what's going through her head. It's her business.

A lot of variables to consider honestly. If their spouse had been sick for some time before the passing, they likely started the grieving process even before they passed. Or maybe they didn’t have a great relationship to begin with.
A lot of times adults in those situations know what they want and maybe feel life is too short to not get back out there.
I don’t blame folks for not wanting to be alone.

Couldn’t disagree more. It’s disrespectful to the deceased to immediately get back out there.

Six months doesn't seem unreasonable. It may vary depending on how long they were married.

They were married for like 30 years.

Exactly 350 days and no more or no less.

Everyone's different emotionally. If she's able to move on that quick and actually have a serious relationship good for her.

Ok? Statistically is not uncommon for people in happy, healthy marriages to move on shortly after the death of a spouse.
Why do you think it’s so disrespectful?

I think it’s appropriate to take a year to mourn the relationship before getting dicked down by a bunch of randoms. They had three kids together and a 30 year marriage. Show some respect and don’t be such a whore.

It’s none of anyone’s business. Everyone is different.

Why would waiting 6 months after the passing make her a whore? And you’re making a pretty big assumption that he’s going to be throwing arse to everyone. Maybe she just wants some companionship.

So you wouldn’t think it would be in bad taste if she got railed right after the funeral? Damn, Louisiana is different culturally. That’s for sure.

Dude, you’re insane. Is it just because she’s a woman? What if a man wants to date 6 months after his wife dies?
Absolutely nothing wrong with this. Your concern over her being a whore is beside the point. Seeking companionship does not equate to being a whore.

I would wait a year to hit the punani if my wife died. It’s only 12 months.

There is a better than average chance it’s been a while since her hubby dicked her down right.

Wow some strong feelings here make it seem like you don’t really want actual opinions.

I wouldn’t fault six months just for dating.

I bet he at least ate it right though.
