I’m 60. If my wife were to die (God forbid, and no pics), I could be dead in a year. Carpe diem, boys.

I mean to be honest given the stats OP put out, she’s likely post-menopausal. And probably doesn’t have much of a drive anymore anyway.

The woman is likely 60+ years old. And doesn’t want to be alone.

OP being judgmental AF about this makes me think he’s too young to realize once you get past a certain age 6 months can feel like a week.

Bringing a date to the funeral is over the line?

Really depends on how they die. Truth is, if after 6 months it was made public, they had a connection way sooner. Maybe even before death.

Really depends on how a person dies. Sudden and tragic my wife better mourn me for years. If she’s been dealing with my treatments and wiping my arse for years, I’m good with a quicker turnaround

Okay, I get it now. You’re trolling. You hid it well. Good on you.

The OP made up a bullshite scenario so he can escalate with each rational response.

You sound a little jealous. Like Belle said, whether death or divorce, almost nobody just starts the separation process the day someone is declared dead or the deed is signed.

She's probably in her 50s at least. That, combined with her spouse dying, could mean menopause isn't just peri-menopause, it's in full swing. She's probably not getting "dicked down" by a bunch of randos. She's going on dates, you incel.

Maybe those people should focus on their own lives instead of judging others?!?

No one gets to define what is right for her. Life is too short to let petty people demand how you live.

Especially if they’re older/elderly, sometimes they need to start dating again pretty quick to stay alive.

Just can’t function alone anymore. Everyone’s different.

And yet you came here, asked for the OT’s thoughts on moving on.

And are now getting irrationally mad and calling this poor widow a whore because most don’t agree with you.

Witnessed a friend do this after his wife had a long 10 year battle with cancer. Started dating about 6 months after, and the second one he dated ended up being his second wife at just under 2 years since his first passed

Fact is his first wife wanted him to move on for him and their kids. Add to that he had time to start the grieving process,, albeit in a different way, many months towards the end.

It’s different and very dependent on the situation. I don’t fault him or anyone else going through something like it.

Who said I’m getting mad? Plus I have a better idea of whether or not she is getting dicked down by randows than somebody over the internet. I actually know this woman.
