[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more importantly, it’s about what you think about your kids. If their reaction matters to you, talk to them and wait. If not, do what you want.[/quote] For minor kids, it's just common sense to wait. No matter what their verbal reaction is, they need time to be supported in their grief. The loss of a parent is worse than the loss of a spouse - a spouse you can replace; a parent you cannot. An adult can choose to cover up or end their grieving by rapidly getting remarried, but a child cannot. The remarriage then puts the child and new partner in an untenable situation of competing loyalties. On the flip side, any person who would go all-in in a super fast new relationship with a recent widower with minor kids doesn't really have their head screwed on straight, either. It's not a good sign of their ability to manage their emotions and relationships.[/quote]
