@drewnogal saidI do believe that males have a grieving period also would vary depending on the man. I think they move on faster than women do as far as beginning another relationship.
I’ve read this ~ women grieve the death of a male partner and males ‘replace’ a deceased female partner.

-Removed-Not to be disrespectful but look at how many years she has put up with you. I am sure you aren't a whole lot different in person than on here. Or maybe you are entirely different. Only you know. Unfortunately my better half passed some years ago.
We talked about if one of us passed before she did and I was told to move on after a grieving period. I did after roughly a year and have been happy with my new lady for the past 8 years on the 16 of this month. At first I never thought I would find happiness again. I guess I am one of the lucky ones and was able to find that special someone twice in my lifetime.

-Removed-It’s surprising how quickly some men will find themselves a new female partner, and it’s a good thing when they have already grieved some; having cared for a woman with an illness. I know of 3, aged 41 - 64, whose partners had a brain tumour, dementia and strokes. They were all dating someone else within 3- 18 months.
@drewnogal saidPersonally I think be it a man or woman after 1 year they should move on or at least get out with different people. I am fairly certain that is what their partner would have wanted for them.

@very-rusty saidGrief is a long lonely road, which you must travel alone.

@drewnogal saidAgreed, I believe it takes different lengths of time for different people. It is very sad for those who can not move on, and I know them also.
