If your Dh died or you got divorced do you think you'd remarry

Nope. Married twice. If DH dies I would be single focus on my job children and family. I don’t think I could find anyone as generous kind and have the same kind of “fit”. Additionally I’m well off financially and I fully intend only to finance myself and my children as I age. I found it difficult dating in my 40s and I can’t imagine doing it later in life. I would also be very interested in living near my adult children and not want to live elsewhere for new man.

Nope

I've been widowed for eight years now and had a very happy marriage.
While I would quite like some male company, I haven't got round to doing anything about it - terrible procrastinator. Like @Shudacudawuda I can't imagine anyone equalling my DH. I don't mean the same, I mean equal.

That apart, I would never live with a man, nor permit them to live in my house. I like my own space and would never compromise my DD's inheritance.

Nope! Absolutely not!

No. I'd be heartbroken to lose DH but I'd move on in time to embrace a single life doing exactly what I want, when I want. Plus, new in-laws..I just wouldn't have the energy.

Out of love, no, most definitely not, just no one would ever live up to DH.

Because I want to, absolutely not, see above.

For money, Anna Nicole Smith style, maybe, I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't rule it out if it meant security, I'd do what I have to.

This!

Nope. My DH has multiple myeloma with co-morbidities. He is effectively dying. We could have 6 months or 6 years dependent on how fast he relapses etc or if an infection gets him first etc.

i would not want to share my home with anyone else, I have no desire to ‘learn’ a new partner etc.

unlikely.

I adore my husband: I don’t think I’d ever love anyone else as much.

also, from reading/ hearing about other people’s partners: it’s put me off.

finally, I want to make sure all my assets (and DHs assets) go to our son when I die

Absolutely not. Bunch of self affirming knobs, for the most part.

My sister was widowed and then surprisingly did remarry a couple of years later. I would say her first DH was not her ‘great love’. DH is my great love, I feel lucky I have experienced it, I don’t need it again. But I’m 58 now, it’s very different to being widowed at a very young age.

Depends on age I think. I’m in my 50’s and none of my divorced or widowed friends want to live with a man again - not a single one.

And as single older women I can tell you the picking out there are very slim indeed so the chances of meeting anyone worth marrying is remote.

Nope … I love my husband, but if anything happened I no wish to ever live with a man ever again

No. I wouldn’t have moved in with another man or brought another man into their lives if I’d ended up divorced or widowed when my children were children.

Now they are teen and young adult, I feel the same, but for different reasons. When they were younger it was about protecting their peace and them not having ti share their home or lives with a man who wasn’t their father.

Now, I would just never want to live with another man and cannot think of any reason I’d want to remarry.

I might date or even have a relationship, but only if the guy was on board with not shacking up together or marrying.

Yes, I would miss having a man in my life and in my bed .

No idea, really. I genuinely admire women putting themselves ‘out there’, though. It’s a skill set I’ve definitely lost in the romantic/sexual sense, though I’m good at making friends. I think I’d like some unproblematic no-strings sex, if it were on offer.

As mentioned by someone above, I would definitely date and have fun, just wouldn’t be interested in cohabiting or having them involved with my family.

I used to think I would, but the older I get the more I think I wouldn't (I'm 46).
I don't think I'd ever find someone who'd measure up, and the thought of having to date a load of blokes to find someone half decent......I couldn't be arsed. There are so many unworthy men out there. I struck gold with my DH, I don't think I could be so lucky again.

No. Can't imagine it. I can imagine living quite happily on my own!

I'm not sure, I used to be certain that I would remain single ever after, if DH was gone, but the older I get the less sure I am about things.
Who knows, maybe older me wants a new companion? I just know I couldn't imagine it now, but I can't predict what I'd be like in that situation

Absolutely. Why wouldn't you?!
I bloody love having someone around, I love sex and I love sharing household chores!
First thing I'd do if DH died was get out there, and he knows it 🤣

I always thought I’d never remarry because of my children. I did. I took it very slow and the man who is now my husband did not have children either. I was more concerned about having to contend with step children so was clear in my head not to start anything with a person who had children already. My two children were late teens when I remarried and it worked out well.

I did marry again after my divorce, we had a very happy but very short marriage as he was diagnosed with cancer. Now I am a widow I don't think I will ever marry again.

I don’t think I could be bothered, but who knows?

A good friend of mine sadly lost her husband after a long illness and she couldn’t initially imagine ever meeting anyone else - she has however met and is married to a very nice chap.
