No way I will ever marry again.

I can't predict the future. I don't know what I would do if my husband died before me. I'm in my early thirties, so if he (God forbid) died within the next 10-20 years I think I'd want to remarry. Later in life? Hard to know.

I an 40 and I would never remarry or even date.

I just can't imagine putting the same amount of love, attention, energy into another marriage with another man. Such a huge commitment and I'm so glad that I found my dh but the sheer history that we have together alone (we've been together since our mid 20's)...how could I ever hope to have anything like it again? I hope and pray that I am never put in that situation.

I think that when widow/widowers do remarry it's a different sort of marriage. A different ballgame.

Widowed for over 15 years. FWBs only for me.

Marriage is highly overrated.

No need to remarry. Agree with pp that FWBs only and the rest of the time I want to spend with myself, my family and friends.

Why marry again? Deal with more annoying in laws?
No way.

Blow his inheritance on fast cars and fast women. Happens all the time.

Wow. In retrospect do you think that your marriage to your wife who left you a widow was a good marriage? Are you happy that you married her or do you think you would have been happy living life as a single man?

^I meant your husband who passed away. Not your wife.

Men are often quick to rebound/get married. I read somewhere that if they had a happy marriage, they're more likely to remarry again-- and rather quickly.

Yes, I realized after I asked the question that pp was talking about the death of her husband of 15 years. Not her wife. But the question is pretty much the same. Did she have a good marriage and is she glad that she married her husband or does she think she would have been happier living life as a single woman.
