Codependency

I don't know. My husband died last year and I don't see myself dating anyone. Not that anyone would want me, but still I just don't relate to that. But it is common, mostly for men. I joined a widower subreddit and it's crazy how many men start dating very soon after losing their wives that they were married to for decades.

Fill a void

My husband are in our 50’s, and have been together nearly 40 years. We agree that if anything happens we both expect the other to move on and not be lonely. If marriage happens then that’s great 🩷

Maybe she didn't love the deceased husband anymore before he died

I saw a woman on here who was dating someone new a month after her husband died 🥴 saying it’s the happiest she’s *ever* been. Isn’t that disrespectful to your late husband 🤨

Was her husband ill For a long time? Or was he a Wonderful person who helped her enjoy life. So she misses the companionship? But most importantly. What the hell business is it of yours?

It’s codependency and it’s short-lived, hence the “jumping from one to the next”.

In my neighbourhood some folks being married 50 years, partner dies, less than a year they have a another and remarried. My husband died 27 years ago I'm still by my self. I don't get how they do it, but I like being by myself.

To each his/her own. None of our business
