Married a widower?

AIBU to think that a man should not enter a relationship if he still has feelings for another woman, even if she's dead?
Has anyone ever married a widower? I just think it must be so hard to step into another woman's shoes! The constant comparison and the husbands 'Rebecca syndrome' somehow they think it's ok to keep photos on display and screen savers of the deceased but that would never happen in a relationship where a man still loved his ex but she'd left him. Films are full of such scenarios, seen most recently on BBCs Chloe.
I don't even get the children thing, if I married a man who still had wedding photos around the house of the day he got married to his ex and he used his children as an excuse I'd be so uncomfortable.

Evening all - we've had a fair few reports about this thread from people concerned about the OP's motives in starting it. We can never vouch for anyone here 100% but we can confirm that that OP has been posting on here for a little while.

The OP may not have approached the subject in the most, ahem, sensitive way (to say the least) and we're sorry to anyone who has been upset or offended by the tone of some posts. We've deleted some posts breaking our Talk Guidelines.

That said, we can see that there are many moving and eloquent posts on the thread, describing MNers' experiences of coping with grief and loss, which may be really helpful to others going through similar. For that reason, we think it would be a shame to remove the thread entirely and will leave it standing for now. Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts so far. Flowers
