Let's say that you get married at age 25, and at age 35 your wife tragically dies. Would you ever get remarried? I honestly don't know what I would do.

of course I would.

anyone who never considers getting remarried is insane.

No, I'd probably mourn for a year or so, and then have really screwed up sexual escapades and never really get over the whole thing.

I don't know if this applies but....

My partner Kyle and I were together for 4 years and he was killed by a 17 year old Drunk Driver who ran a red light because he was late for curfew. It took me a LONG while to get over the loss, and to this day I still find myself comparing people I date to him. David(Mr. A1 Steak Sauce on my Filet Mignon, I am going to be a daddy) is a perfect example. I find it hard to accept the difference is people, instead of wondering "Why can't they be more like Kyle was?" This is something I have to work on. I think you should move on, instead of holding on to the past.

it would be tough. but if i found happiness in getting married later on, most likely yes. it's too hard to predict what you'd do in a situation like that. but i know i don't like being alone.

Wow Steve...there is so much trauma in your life. I'm v sorry that this happened to such a nice guy.

I probably would. Hell, Arnold Palmer just got remarried at like 72.

I am a married and I have thought about this. My answer is that you can never say never but I think it would be very unlikely for me. The primary reason is that I would find it very hard to put as much time and energy into another person another time. Perhaps a better way to say it is that I am very devoted to my wife and I dontthink I could begin that process over another time.

Sorry to hijack the thread, just had a question for Steve (and anyone for that matter). Why is it that gay people use the term "partner"? Is it because you aren't married but intend to spend your lives together so this is a new term? I've always been curious about this.

I would probsbly [censored] a bunch of college girls for awhile and then get tired of it. Then I'd do it again. I think if I suddenly became single at 35 (assuming I was succesful which i will be) it would take awhile for me to calm down. I'd feel like a teenager again. i think i'd probably get remarried around 45-50

Honestly I am not real sure. Maybe it is just a politically correct way of being non-gender-specific in language usage. Who knows???

I love my wife, and my kids. I don't regret anything. I'm very happy.

But I'll never get married again.

Unless my sex drive comes back to life once I'm single again. If that happens, all bets are off.

Probably. Several of my friends have fathers who have gotten re-married and they are very happy.

I'm happily married. The Warden is all that matters to me. I doubt that I'd remarry. Who can say for sure, though?

My 71 year old mother just got remarried, ten years after my father passed away. She's happy but her new husband is a pinko [censored].

He struck up a conversation with my father in law on Memorial day about how he can't respect vietnam vets. My father in law is was a crew chief in hueys in 'nam (hung his ass out the door, holding onto his .50 cal for dear life, scraped the guts outta the chopper after missions and such). So Mr. Pinko ruins our picknick by essentially calling my father in law a vicious killer.

Oh, and my mother's husband's fat cat parents paid off their doctor so he could dodge the Korean conflict. Phantom heart murmur.

Bit of a digression, but I don't like the fucker. I especially don't like that I have to be nice to him.

I just got married, and I feel this way as well. ultimately though, who knows what you would do in that situation?

I would say that if you have a good to great first marriage and you lose your spouse the chances are very good that you will get re-married but if that first one was a bummer it's more unlikely.

You should have assured your father-in-law that no one would mind if he punched him in the groin.

I don't know if I'd remarry. I really don't even want to think about it.

He has to be polite to him, out of respect for his mother.
