1. No surprisingly not. Though her behavior the night of and after his death had her pretty heavily investigated by county detectives. After 3 of your husbands pass away in a 10 year span, people start getting suspicious.

2. I'm sure if you Google "vile piece of human garbage" you would get something pretty close

There’s no right or wrong answer. Every person is different. Every relationship is different.

Who am I to assign how many days must pass?

With kids, particularly young, I suppose added layers of discretion and respect for their mourning are appreciated... but the idea that you can’t pursue happiness at your own speed because of respecting the deceased is not my business

This seems like a good plotline to a Hallmark movie

I went through this. I was married 7 year's, lost my wife to a drunk driver. Had a 3 year old and 18 mo old. It was about 18 months before I put thought into dating. The amount of women that basically throw themselves at you is insane, both single and married. Eventually the human body wins over the mind. I'm remarried now. It was 3 years when i got married. Everyone is different. The fear of raising my babies solo at the time almost drove me to make some bad decisions, but i manned up and got over the fear. After that, it wasn't only about me finding happiness again but about them having a semi normal life. I waited it out for the right woman rather than trying to run from my grief and loneliness , but i can totally understand how some can't and rush into new relationships to run from it.

Until you live it, you shouldn't judge.

I would never get remarried, and I’ve told my wife this. I would wait at least a year to publicly date someone. Longer (if ever) for social media.

I love my wife deeply and couldn’t imagine losing her. But I’ve got 4 kids. I’d be looking pretty quickly out of mere survival needs but I guess I’d need to think about the kids processing it as well.

Had you gone on the cruise that Scoop’s wife went on, you could have dated her for at least a few nights. Probly gotten some action too

I really believe I have no desire to re marry should I divorce or wife die.

Dating again timeline is diff for every person and it’s no one else’s business.

Be Like George Constanza...he asked out Marissa Tomey the night after the funeral


the worst part of that was the fact that he tried to get with her while Susan was still alive, and Marisa Tomei was interested, but balked when she found out he was engaged. Then after Susan dies, he immediately calls Marisa back up to basically say that problem no longer exists

Not reading the whole thread to figure out hiw your cousins died.

IF it was long and drawn out, then maybe he bonded with a friend or someone who helped him care for here.

If this is a complete stranger that he met and was seriousky dating 5 werks later, it wont last. She is just filling a ckid in bis life, and when he gets back to normal, things will fall apaprt in that relationship.

Regardless, 5 weeks is way to soon to go all out oublic on social media and such. Its just disrespectful to all others who loved her.

ps...do you kniw the whereabouts of this new chick in the night of your cousins death? LOL

IMO it depends on HOW a spouse dies; if the spouse has on-going health issues and it was a steady decline, then 5 weeks seems reasonable. If the spouse died suddenly then 5 weeks seems short.

So sorry about your loss. I hope you and those two kids are doing better. Nothing will replace the loss of their mother but you three will be closer emotionally than many parent/children ever will.

My wife passed on Feb 23. I'm still in love with her. I don't even think about dating.
