You really can't answer that question cause you have no idea how you would feel if something happened to your partner. I have heard other people say the same thing and, turn around and get remarried cause they couldn't handle being alone.

My wife and I have been married for 16 years as well. We have had this conversation and although I would want her to be happy, she has stated that she never would remarry. This is a second marriage for us both and I must say that I wished on many ocassions that we had met first. There are health issue's between us in which brought up this question and as I believe that I will never be faced with the situation, I still believe that I would remain single. Thanks for the interesting question.

I felt the same as you when married to my first wife. But after she died, I missed all those things and having someone to share my life with. I was sort of hunting for another, but no one measured up. Then when I wasn't even looking, I ran into an old friend from college. We went out to catch up on gossip, had a great time, and went out some more, and fell in love. We married and now I feel all those things about her. I am so lucky to have had 2 such wonderful women in my life.

My husband and I were only married for 7 years (1st marriage for both) when he died suddenly 2 years ago,
he was 45, I was 43. We absolutely were NUTS about
each other, were each other's love of our life. I don't want
anyone else, and truly I don't think there's anyone else out
there who could even come close, but I don't want to spend
the rest of my life feeling this sad, either. So I keep an open
mind. I had everything I ever wanted in my life when I met
him it was all my dreams come true. He was an amazing
person, and when he died the best parts of me died too.
I am one of those people who needs to be needed by
someone, and it really hurts that nobody needs me any more.

I have been married for 21 years and love my husband greatly. That being said, if he should die someday, I will not say that I will never marry again. It certainly won't be right away, but every love is a different love and I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of companionship when older. My Dad took a long time, but after 10 years found a lady who was his friend and companion, and was so much happier that all of his children rejoiced.
One thing I've learned in life is never to say never.

I think i would remarry eventually but it would take a really special person,.. my husband has already told me, that if something happens to him he'd want me to get remarried because he doesnt want me to be alone.. and i of course told him, that if something happens to me, and he even looks at another woman let alone sleeps with them or gets remarried to another, that i will come back to haunt him lol...

I was married twice (15 y & 4 y) I thought too I would never ever find another man or love another man as much as the first one....I was wrong, number 2 was behond all my expectations..so I am sure there is a number 3 out there who'll lift me off my feet in a way I've never known before.

I have been married 11 years.
It would take a long while, but I wouldn't be against remarriage if he died. I think that by not allowing yourself to move on, you are doing a disservice to your former spouse. My husband used to joke that if he died, I needed to marry his brother and take care of him (like they did in early biblical times) but fortunately he found a wonderful woman and got married.
