icicle I think you're not a mother and neither are you CM.

Why would be a person lonely with three kids running around him?
**
What happens when those kids** grow up and leave the nest? I would want my other half to remarry if I died or we divorced, apart from younger kids needing a mother figure I would hate for him to have to go into old age without a partner, ppl have physical and emotional needs and I'd hate to deprive him of that..
A couple of my uncles and aunties have gotten divorced and remarried quite quickly (usually in the second year) and in march this year one of my aunties died at 31, leaving behind a little toddler, my uncle is too heartbroken to even consider remarrying right now but am sure he will do within the next 3/4 years, it's hard work bringing up a kid on your own (he's in the army so things are even more difficult in regards to him being around) and at some point of course he is prob going to feel he needs someone to be close to again..
