Your spouse dies--Do you remarry?

[Ed Anger]

I'll bee the creep hanging out at community college picking up 19 year olds. HEY BABY, WANNA SEE MY 401K?

Having lived alone now for three years, I can happily say it really doesn't matter. I could marry again, I could not.  One thing, I am never dating crazy, that shit sucks.

Never figured you for an emotional cripple.     My condolences.

While I certainly love company it is not really related to emotions.  Why does this upset you so much?  I ain't going to live with you.

I am still confused what teenage girls have to do with this. 

Doesn't upset me at all.  Whatever works for you, Captain Clingy.

Sadly, one doesn't always see crazy right away. Luckily, there are certain sub-groups one can avoid just on principle to minimize the problem.

True, but I cut out a lot of that problem by not being gay.

At least I am self-aware!

I wouldn't remarry.

I'm undecided, should the worst happen, whether to become celibate or a perv

Glanced at the forum index and for some reason thought the thread title said "Your douse spies ...."

Inspired by a conversation with Mrs. MIM. I mentioned offhand that there's no way in hell I would get re-married if she died. She thought I didn't need to be that loyal, but those were not my reasons.

I dont think I would either.  I dont think I would find another one like her and I have a rather inflexible high standard when it comes to such things.

I think it would vary depending on when / how it happened.

If my wife were to die in the next several years, I imagine I would seek out some female companionship of some sort, and that does tend to lead to marriage eventually.

In my elderly years though... man it'd be tough to find a space in your life for a new person after having spend decades with someone else.

I'd look for a new partner, yes. Marriage? I don't think so (okay, maybe).

In order to remarry you need to get married a first time.

[Monoriu]

Depends on whether I meet the right person again.  I won't be in any hurry to remarry and indeed I may not, but I won't rule it out.

Ironically, a sizeable majority of Languishite posting in this thread will be out lived by their wives/femaile partners. 


Somewhere on the secret languish partners forum, is a thread entitled "Who am I likely to link up with, once MiM/Mono/sedentary.games.nerd dies"

You'd be surprised.  My 80-year old grandfather remarried within 1 year of his second wife's death (after 20+ years of marriage), and I think had only been widowed for a couple of years after the first wife's death before remarrying.  Some people (Valmy, apparently) just can't be alone.
