More than just she got on your case for calling the woman a whore. This isn't about feminism, but do go on telling yourself that.


It’s the easy retort for him, despite multiple male posters telling him the same thing.

My wife’s great aunt died when her great uncle was 85. Women were giving him their phone numbers in the church hall after the funeral. This was in Bogalusa and he was remarried within a year. In his defense, I don’t think he ever cooked a meal in his life, his wife took care of everything and he was almost helpless when she died. He died a few years later and the new wife inherited everything. We never see her at any family events anymore.

So you’re wishing ill will towards me? That can’t be good for your soul.

All of you are acting like I called someone close to you a whore. It’s amazing.

Your momma’s an ugly whore who dresses you funny.

I have a friend who wore her wedding ring for a year after husband died. She dated casually but nothing serious.

I also know someone who wanted to ditch the ring as soon as the bastard was in the ground (her words not mine).

My mom remarried 3 years after my dad died. I was only 3 when he died. I know she was dating within a year of his death. Didn’t make her a whore. Made her a young widowed single mom who needed more in her life than poopy diapers and a dead-end job.

Everyone is different. Everyone grieves differently and handles death on their own time table. Doesn’t make any one way more right than any other way.

How do you know? Can you say for sure that you’ve met this woman?

You clearly don’t know me because I have always had an amazing wardrobe.

Ah, so it’s your moral duty to defend all widows everywhere. Got it.

My grandfather would be remarried already, not dating. I think he did wait 9 months one time to remarry. May have been shorter the third time when he was in his 70s.

I have some good friends who started dating 3 months after her husband died. She was very devoted to him and saw him through a long illness. My friends have been together for over 20 years and are a great couple, and both of their families love them.

they likely started the grieving process even before they passed


I am sort of going through this right now with my mom. She is at the end stages of ALS and it has been over a year since she was close to being herself in terms of communicating, physical abilities, etc. Since around October 2024 its like every week she has lost some ability she had prior to.

She started getting hoarse, then the next week it was a little worse, then you could see where she would lose muscle, in her forearms, legs.. Every week to a week and a half it would be something else, sometimes something small, but over time it gets ugly. Today, she can't do anything, she communicates with her eyes and moves her head a little. Its difficult for her to use her eye gaze. A few weeks ago she started losing the ability to hold her head up.

Its almost as if she isn't there because she isn't part of our lives like she used to be and I thought about this. I accepted her death was near when she was first diagnosed. At this point its almost as if you wish she didn't have to suffer anymore.. I know I am off topic, but this comment made me think about this.

Certainly no hard rule. I’ve seen some less than 6 mos. I’ve seen some 6 years. It’s up to the individual and how they feel about themselves and possibly their kids.
