I have a friend who passed away after a lengthy illness, and her husband is now dating about 6 months after it happened. My mutual friend is angry that I am not upset with him as she thinks it is too early for him to be doing so. Thoughts?

I agree, another factor to consider is the "lengthy illness" bit. I've never been in that situation either, but I imagine if I had a long time to prepare emotionally and mentally for the loss, I would not feel the need to spend so long grieving.

He was also almost certainly horrendously lonely for a long time before her death if he was her primary caregiver during her illness.

I feel the same way; and I've spent some time thinking about this as I've witnessed the same situation a few years ago, only it was a short illness (and genders were swapped, with the husband passing).

It could be any number of things, perhaps the marriage was not happy perhaps he was already in an affair perhaps it was his late wife's wish for him to not be alone perhaps he cannot be without a woman perhaps he cannot look after himself.

Studies show that people who are happy in their marriage are the ones most likely to remarry when widowed. Plus, they probably had time to talk about this, and she likely gave him her blessing. And, as many people have said, it's no one's business but his.
