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

Fuck no, imagine dating again. Yuck.

I don’t know if I’d go to the effort of trying to find a partner, but if I happened to meet someone very special who was great to me and my children then why not?

No. Dh is my second husband. Three would seem....excessive. And I know I wouldn't find one I liked as much.

Not to a man. I couldn't trust another man to be as kind, loving and respectful I don't think. I'm also finding myself more and more attracted to women as I get older.

No, I really enjoy my own company and would happily eat out or holiday on my own so meeting someone else isn't on my list however, I have told DH that I would like for him to meet someone else when I'm not here (terminal cancer). He's spent the last few years caring for me and missed out on so much and I want him to be happy again, to go on holiday etc, he simply wouldn't go alone.

I’ve only ever loved one man and that’s dh and I kissed quite a few frogs before him. If I happened to meet someone but I wouldn’t actively pursue it.

Nope not while I still had children at home. I’d date, but I wouldn’t be doing no step parent blended family stuff.

I think it also depends on how old you are and your life situation when that happens. I'm 55, divorced for 9 years, 3 children all in their 20s. Had a relationship for 5 years but after he died suddenly I realised that I never want to go through that level of grief again so am more than happy staying single. ExH remarried 4 years after the divorce to someone he'd been seeing for 18 months.

Admittedly I do feel a small pang of envy seeing couples of my age holding hands or with their arms around each other as I do miss the physical contact of another human but not enough to go through all the dating crap.

not until my DD was grown up, and if he had kids, not til they were

Well seeing how my husband is alive and it's a hypothetical situation, my new husband is a multimillionaire and has given each of my children £2 million each, bought us a lovely house and is an only child with no living family.

The serious answer is I might want to. And there is nothing to inherit 😅 we have no money and don't own our house.

I don't like sex- never have really and I find marriage very stifling in terms of 'constant compromise' don't like living around someone else's moods and frustrations- but I do like company in short doses, so whilst I might like the odd date - I would happily be single

Not quite what you're asking I know - but I remember discussing it a couple of times and coming to the conclusion that if this happened, I probably wouldn't and he probably would. We divorced 20 years ago and I never have (and never will) and he remarried within weeks of our decree absolute being issued.

I haven't even dated either, whereas he was on dating sites while we were waiting to separate. In fact it was this, and him meeting the woman he would eventually marry and spending family money to travel to meet her and her children (yes I know!) that prompted me to see a solicitor and set the divorce going.

The reason - I felt if it didn't work after 29 years, I couldn't be arsed trying again. I think they are reasonably happy - he emigrated to another continent to be with her and now has taken on citizenship of her country.

God no.

I would. I'm in my 30s, that's a lot of life to go through without another relationship.

Never

Why would you need to marry again to find happiness? By marrying you'd be reducing any inheritance your four kids would stand to receive.

Same. OLD was only just emerging and I never tried it. Now it sounds awful. Walking dates so you do t have to spend money. Queuing for and buying your own coffees separately. Dating multiple people at once. It’s so alien to me. I don’t even like people that much so I would be awful at it 😂

I don't think so.

I wouldn't mind being in a relationship again but living with another man? Watching another guy develop irritating habits as they age, and become a grumpy old man?

Nah. Already done that once, thanks.

I have a lovely DH and we have been together 24 years. I’m only 43, he is almost 10 years older than me. Chances are, he may die before me. I’ve been with him since 19 so think when/if the time comes I will miss him desperately but I will probably embrace the freedom that I’ve never actually had.

That said, I connect well with the opposite sex so cannot say I would not have another relationship, but I would not marry. It’s the assets - they will be secured for my DD and I would be extremely protective of that, like most on this thread it seems.

I'm divorced and have dated extensively since the divorce 😂 I love sex, and like being in a relationship. Not sure about marriage though, and wouldn't live with someone without marriage (not religious, but my personal and financial security is very important to me. I like owning my own house).

Yes this ! I can’t really make myself hot food so would need someone to come and feed me. And I get bored by myself.

This

On my third marriage. Not a chance would I ever again.

I'm 59 and my hubby will be 64 next month, we met in September 2007 and officially married in February 2011, first marriage for us both. No kids by choice before we met or after ... + we're too old anyway!

I absolutely worship him and he knows it so no, there's no chance of divorce - we're very happily married - if he dies before me, if it's today or not for years to come, I'd never re-marry. There's only one hubby I want to be married too!

Big no to living with someone again or getting married. I'd happily date
