He then threatened that if she didn't, he was going to go find it somewhere else.

In time she died, and he remarried before six months was up. Must've been true love, huh.

Unfortunately a lot of scumbags who never loved their partner use the death of a loved one to gain access to a relationship. Horrible.

The death of a loved one works, because you only have to deal with the emotional part of that spouse. It's not like a divorce, or failed relationship, where you have to deal with the emotional and the physical. I also think one is treated way more favorably, from a dating standpoint, than the other. With a spouse dying there's the idea that they'd still be married to their partner if they hadn't have died. When you divorce, well the truth is on the divorce decree. They no linger wanted to be married. Plus, I'm not going to lie, widowed does sound better than divorced.

I never said I was interested into entering a marriage. Hell, I definitely don’t want to get married. You are just mad because I’m at least honest with my BS and won’t put on a front for anyone.

I'm not mad at all.
