I asked my husband that question the other night, because I wanted to know how he would feel about it. If it would be like betraying him if I loved someone else if he died.

I have always told my wife I would never remarry, because there is only one person who I would ever call my wife, She tells me I should remarry(not right away of course), but I dont think I ever could. may have a relationship but could not ask someone else to marry me.

Well I am only 24 and my husband is military so I worry even know right now he hasn't been sent overseas yet. I really don't think I could, but then again at least I have spoken to my husband about it and know he wouldn't mind if I did. I wouldn't mind too much either as long as not too quick and with a good person.

You are right that there is cases of military wives that end up a widow at a very young age. Any spouse in the end would not want the love of their life to be alone and miserable until their end comes or would they?

I am curious to know what your husbands reply was to this question? As for myself i am single and never been married but i think that in all fairness it would be what your spouse would want. I don't think that he or she would want you to leave the remainder of your life miserably!

thats funny me and my husband talk about the same thing, and he said he would always love me and couldnt think of being with another woman when he still loved and missed me, and i agree with him for I would feel the same if he was to die. I didnt marry him with intent that he would pass, and if he happens to while we are still young I dont think i could ever bring myself to love anyone...

This is used to be on my head. I would remarry another one after that for a child/children. My wife used to tell me only love her twice. But after 7 years of marriage, she told me to look for another one to give a birth to a baby. But it is very difficult to do in my small country.

My husband & I have this discussion all the time. Honestly, I'm not sure.. if I found someone that was good to me & made me happy & loved my kids-- I would definately consider it. I mean, of course I ask him the question & what I'm thinking is when --we are older-- but, life doesn't always end the way you plan it out to. So? If something happend when we are young-- I couldn't imagine raising a family by myself. So, I hope that I would be able to find someone else & I wish the same thing for him if the situation were reversed. I wouldn't want him going through his life alone & I wouldn't want my kids to not have a mother figure or a father figure. I think they need that in their life. It's a tough thing to talk about & I do hope that I am never faced with this situation, but atleast if I am.. I know my husband wants the same thing for me that I want for him. & your not leaving anything unanswered.

I probably will not remarry if my husband die. I love him so much that I dont think I can love someone else.

I don't think I would. I've spent 30 years training this one, and I wouldn't have time to train another! :O)

I would not either. The bond i would have set with my wife would be hard to break.
