[quote=Anonymous]My cousin died earlier this year. 
She had been ill (diagnosed) for around 1.5 years and her health had deteriorated quickly during the last 2 months of her life.
She was 73.

My cousin's husband is 81. It was a second marriage for both of them. They had been together for 15 years.

My cousin's second husband was a widower when they first met, his first wife had also died of an illness (a different illness).

A couple of weeks ago my cousin's son from her first marriage told me that he had found out that the 2nd husband had found a new girlfriend only 3 weeks (!) after his mother's funeral. He was not impressed.

I had always thought that my cousin and her second husband had a good, strong marriage. 
He took care of her at home when she became ill and couldn't take care of herself anymore. He also helped my cousin by doing little jobs for her very elderly mother who lived in a nursing home.

I find it hard to imagine that he would have entered a new relationship so soon after her death.
If this is true, is it common for men to move on this quickly?[/quote]
