If your H died, would you get married again?

[ralphlauren]

I would.  I love being married very much.  

[melindafelinda]

Probably. But not for a long time.

[Jermys]

Speckled, you are SO IN!

Also, I just shaved my legs today and it was like a freaking Yeti. Sad.

[BaliHai]

I can't say for sure, but I feel like the answer would either be "no" or "not for a really long time". We've also discussed this and agreed we'd want the other to move on and be happy, whatever it took, but I don't know... I think I'm going to stick with "not for a really long time". With an extra "really" for good measure.

[Deleted]

Absolutely not. The idea makes me break out in hives.

[Kore]

I would. Marriage has been really fun.

This.

[thebamker]

sure

[Deleted]

Newp. I'm sure I'd be lonely, but I really don't think that I could ever love anyone else like I love him.

[Deleted]

Probably.

[angelaa73]

fuck yeah I would! married people live longer. which is kind of weird if your spouse just died... but i digress,

I.WANT.TO.LIVE!

[VillainV]

I was widowed at 26, and everyone kept saying "Oh, don't worry, you'll find someone else!" (which, by the way, is one of the worst things you can say to someone who lost their spouse).

I had no interest in dating for a few years. Then I started doing a little bit of dating, and unexpectedly met my current husband. He is truly amazing, and I'm so thankful that I opened up my heart and let him into my life. He makes me so happy

If he were to die...I dunno. I'm not sure that I can go through it again. But like others have said, if I found the right person (again?) I would consider it. But I'm sure it would take me a long time (maybe even forever) to get over another loss like that.

[CheshireGrin]

I want to live in jermys commune. Can we just do that anyway, without the whole widowing part?

[Jermys]

Only if you bring the BF with his shelf putting up abilities and the pets. Can you imagine the awesomeness of that commune?

We would be unstoppable!

[isabel]

I sure hope I would. I'm 24. We don't have kids. I love my H dearly, but I'm too young to never be married again.

I really hope he would marry again if I died. He deserves to have that closeness with someone.

[Deleted]

Idk, if someone else will take me then yes, probably.

[Deleted]

I've actually given this whole thing some thought and had conversations about it with my parents and DH. My aunt died about 4 years ago from cancer and my Uncle got remarried this year. He is in his early fifties. He started dating the women he is now married to within about 6 months of my aunt's death. His kids (all over 25) took it pretty hard. And it caused some minor drama in the more extended family.

I'm only 26, and that seems a long time to live alone, but it would really have to be the right person and I can't imagine doing things very fast. And I might just considering becoming a cat lady, although I'm not sure how well that would go, considering I'd like kids someday.

Jermys I'll apply for your commune as long as there is a chance of getting cuddles from Edith and Freddie and getting to help take care of them and any other kids there.

I also hope that if I died, MH could find someone else to marry.

[sawineaux79]

Adding another "fuck no" and "hell no" to the mix.  There is a lot to be said for living in sin.  

[Bumblebee]

I probably would.  Being single for the rest of my life does not appeal to me.

This exactly, Are you in my head? ( but the age was different..I was in my 30's and am remarried now)

I just asked my H if he would remarry should I die. He said he would just get a bunch of dogs instead. lol

I agree with your H! 

[RoxMonster]

Yes, I think I would depending on age and stage in my life. We aren't having kids, so besides my dog(s), I would like someone else to keep me company besides just family and friends. I also believe that there isn't just one person out there for each of us. I am so in love with H and couldn't imagine anyone else right now, but if he were to die, I wouldn't be opposed to trying again.

[blueballoon]

Yes, but I'd be single for a long time first, and I'd have to find someone that would accept my hoard of pets.

[underwaterrhymes]

I don't even like to think about this. I cannot imagine being married to anyone else.

No one could live up to him.

[lightbulbsun]

Maybe. I'm still pretty young, so who knows?

[Deleted]

I doubt it, especially right now. I don't think I would have the time or energy to date or be in a new relationship while my son is so young. It feels like it would be stressful, and I'd be afraid my son would feel that too much.

If he was older, I don't know. Maybe. I might date a bit just to see how I felt about it. But I doubt I'd feel like marrying again.

[juliagoulia]

I may but it would be a very long time, I think. I married Mr Goulia young and while I'm really happy with him and our life- I'd take some time to do some stuff before marrying again. 

That and also OMG that all seems like so much work- H better not kick it or I will be so pissed at him.

[hisno1girl]

No way.

I like quiet alone time.

Like I said in the "Would your DH marry again if you died" post, being single doesn't mean you have to be lonely or unhappy.

[RBL]

I would likely remarry. I'm sure it would be a while before I would be interested in dating though.
