Elaine, It's just a retorical question, my wife is in perfect health.
It's a topic we have discussed before, and we have said that we would want each other to be happy in the event that one of us died.
We realize that nobody could replace either of us, and we would have that attitude going into a relationship with someone if we remarried.

I dont know if I could. I love my husband dearly, and he is a good friend to me too! I really dont know if any other man could live up to his record!
I guess it really would depend on how old I was if he died (God forbid) If I were still youngish, I might get married again, and realize that my new husband would never replace or 'be' my husband I have now. If I were very old, I think Id just revel in the memories, if I still had my faculties that is!
I hope you arent asking this because you've got a sick wife. I hope it's a rhetorical question.

If the right person came along yes I would. I'm not sure how long I would wait though. I would think it would at least be a few years but I just don't know how long I would wait unless it happened. I have told my wife that I have no problem with here getting remarried if I die first. Just as long as she doesn't try and pick up at the funeral :-)
I suppose each person is different and they need to do what they feel comfortable with.

Yes, I did, my husband died in 2001 of brain cancer, he was 54, I was 41. I remarried last November. You can't expect your mate to not be happy in life again, & they can't expect you to never remarry & find someone to live the rest of your life with. Just because you remarry does not change the fact you loved your husband & he is still in you heart as a memory.

If it was with someone I feel in love with then yes. But I wouldn't remarry just because I was lonely.

I highly doubt I would remarry. My husband is one in a million and the love of my life.

That is something that I am not sure of. When you love someone with your soul your love never really changes so to find someone to fill that void would take a lot of effort. I probably won't because I would never be able to give my hundred percent.

Very hard to answer, my husband is dead. I am now 52yrs old and I can't imagine that such a love could happen to me twice in a llifetime.

HELL NO! Why on earth would I want to go through this sh*t again? It wasnt that good to begin with the first time. I'll just live in sin for the rest of my life.

Yes I would. But don't let yourself live in a fantasy world.

Yes, you can be happy again, your heart must be healed and you must open and honest with yourself, you need chemistry, compatibility and commitment.
