[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He had had the new girlfriend on deck for awhile. If not more than on deck.

People always underestimate the elderly, lol. [/quote]

OP again.
Whatever the case may be, I think it must be hurtful for my cousin's adult children. 
I get that the husband doesn't want to be alone for the remaining years of his life, but 3 weeks after the funeral feels way too soon. And if he'd already had someone new lined up he could at least have made an effort to hide it for a little longer, for the sake of her children.[/quote]

For another perspective, I got too much information from my grandfather. My grandmother was dying of cancer, and she made a plan and actually picked out who my grandfather should date after she died. That's who he picked. He told me that there were so many women after him in his condo, that he had no choice but to make a selection rapidly and make it clear. So, in his case, it was something that he and his partner actively wanted, and it was a move to fend off other suitors. Unfortunately, eligible old men are scarce, I guess.[/quote]

So was it more like a practical arrangement  and not a case of being 'in love'?[/quote]

No, not in love, but they socialized a lot, and liked each other.[/quote]
