If your mom or dad died, God forbid, do you want your remaining parent to find a new SO?

Asked by JLeslie (65429points) August 1st, 2011

Obviously this is assuming your parents were still together when one of them died.

If you are ok with them finding a new SO or spouse, would you go as far to say you are happy for them, and totally ok with the idea of a new person (let’s assume for the question he/she is a a good person who is very nice and gets along with everyone). Do you have an expectation of how much time the mourning period should take before you surviving parent starts dating?

If you hate the idea of it, what do you hate? Do you perceive it as your mom/dad being replaced too easily? Or, you just can’t stand to see your surviving parent with someone else? Or, whatever other reason you might have.
