Mine died 14 years ago and I haven't moved on and really don't want to.
If your significant other died, how long would it take for you to move on, if ever at all?
Move on? Like date or have a relationship with another?
I'll never marry again. He is the love of my life. After a long while, I will enjoy an occasional gentleman caller. I like being alone and enjoy my company, but might need the companionship occasionally.
I don't think I'd ever move on. I like my own company and at my age I'm good.
I don't think I will move on, but then again, I also said I wasn't going to get married.
I honestly can not answer that and I hope I don't have to experience it.
WOW, this is a great question . . .
So, I would think I wouldn't ever FULLY move on. My expectations would at least start there . . . That doesn't mean I wouldn't pursue some sort of physical relationships . . . It would most likely take me 2-3 years to do this . . .
Well all depends on significance?
I met my husband in 1976 when we were at college together. Fast forward to 1992 when we finally got married. 1993 we had a son together. 1995 his first son died unexpectedly after he finished basic training in the Air Force. In addition to losing my step-son, I also lost my husband when he died. The grief is so overwhelming when you lose a child, 80% of the marriages end in divorce.
I stuck it out for another 2 1/2 years, but only time could heal that wound. I did date after my divorce, but I never found "the one". However, I don't think it's a betrayal to move on after a loss.
For some, they are content with only one true love in their life. For others that seek love and find another to fill that void and to love completely, who I am to say that it's wrong?
