To clarify as there seems to be some confusion and if referring to me, I met my young Lady Friend a year after my wife had passed.

Dizzy. What would you consider appropriate to refer to someone as? I find nothing smutty about Lady Friend.

Date, no set rules, find another love.

There is an old expression. Women mourn. Men replace.

So you "replaced" your late wife with a FORTY years younger woman "friend" who is content with an occasional lunch or dinner and subsequent "roll in the hay"? Wow, when I was growing up, those women weren't called "friends" by any definition.

My father died when I was 9 and my mother was 39. I don't remember how long after my father's death she started dating again but date she did. And, for the most part, that didn't bother either me or my sister. There were some guys we liked a lot and some we liked less. There was one in particular (a divorcee) where we became very friendly with his family (he had custody of three children) and spent a lot of time together. When my mother passed away, his daughter came to her funeral (he was long dead).

My mother never remarried but she certainly did not become a recluse.
