Just start dating before they die and there shouldn’t be surprise

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.

From why I’ve seen:
For the husband , Monday
For the wife, 37 years

Sounds like your wife’s family needs to mind their own business and let people do what makes them happy. The spouse is dead. It’s not like their feelings are going to be hurt.
That said, if I lost my other half at any age I’m not sure I’d ever be comfortable moving on.

I dated this girl whose grandparents were married for over 50 years. Her grandpa died pretty suddenly and the grandma packed up all her belongings and moved a few states away and got remarried a week after his funeral.

It's been 21 years for me, and I don't think I will ever date again. If I had to tell someone from experience how long to wait, I would say a year or two. The older I get the more I realize that just like working out keeps you physically sharp, learning something new keeps your mind sharp, being in an intimate relationship keeps you emotionally sharp. There are things I used to care about that I just don't care about anymore. If you have a friend or family member that has lost someone and they start dating, you should be supportive of it (and let them know you are supportive of it).
If I could go back and do it over I would. I have been on my own for so long now I don't think there is a women patient enough to have to deal with me.

It’s got to be exhausting caring so much about how someone else chooses to live their life, knowing you have zero control over their decisions

How about being respectful to your own children who want you to mourn their father?
You can mourn a parent without expecting them to martyr themselves in grief for a year. That's not mutually exclusive.

It sounds bad to start that soon but I think loneliness can be brutal for some people. Coming home to a quiet house every night can make people go insane. Probably just should not judge how long people decide to start again.

I think in most cases kids would be pissed if their parent moved on from their other parent in a matter of months.

Define "kids".
You mean grown arse adults whose parents already did their duty by them.

Had a friend who was remarried within 9 months of bis wife passing but she was a real Bitch to him the last 15 years they were married

How do you know what the late husband wanted for her after he was gone- were you there when he instructed her specifically to take a calendar year off?
Become a nun, perhaps?
That's no one else's business, man. There are no written rules other than "Til Death Do Us Part..."

If they're adults, likely not. Most adults can understand the nuance of moving on.

How much time is appropriate to wait to start dating again after a spouse dies?
At my age, you work the funerals for the new widows. At this age, not many shopping days till Christmas so time is more compressed.

OP has some of the dumbest takes on this site.

I have a friend who started dating within a month after his wife’s very long illness took her. I wasn’t shocked. It’s been 11 years for me since my wife passed and I don’t want to date anyone and pass on every opportunity. The sex attracts me to someone but the “relationship” does not. I’m fine with my scenario.
