marriage the second time around.

Tweet

I am interested in your experiences finding love again after being widowed, more so than after being divorced, but you can include your experiences with successful marriage after divorce, too. Did you put up fences when dating after being widowed? Did your memory of your spouse elevate him/her to the level of being perfect in every way? Does the ghost of your deceased invade your new marriage? Do you find yourself still talking about your "late" to others even in your new spouse's presence? Did you fall into the trap of comparing your late spouse to the person you were dating and in a serious relationship with? I have my own story about being divorced, remarried and then widowed, and being married again for 20 years now. Will spell the deails out later. Please let me know your experiences.
