How many of you are so deeply in love that if something should happen to your partner, you, at this given time, believe that you would remain alone with only the memories of the one you lost until you pass on?
To the end
I'm not sure. I really don't think I could find anyone to compare to my husband. I would try to move on with my life but I'm not sure that I would ever date or remarry anyone. I'm thinking this is something I really wouldn't know about until I'm put in that situation. It's depressing just to think about!

I don't think I'd remarry either. I know a lot of married people who feel that way. Enjoy the pleasures of male companionship - yes. Marry - no.

I love my partner and he loves me but I don't think he'd be happy knowing I was holding him up on this pedestal. I would go on and if love found me again, I would embrace it with a new partner who understood about my partner who passed and what he meant to me and would still mean to me. No one would take my current partners place but I think there would be room for more love and companionship.

I fully intend to die of a broken heart if he passes before I do. I know it sounds crazy and dramatic to most people, but I can't function without that man in my life. I simply don't want to know what it's like to live without him. We've separated in the past and even though I was madder than hell, I still missed him every day we were apart. For it to be permanent? Never can touch or see...it makes me tear up just thinking about it.

Once I give my true heart to someone, which I have/will only do once in my lifetime, I could not be able to move on. Even if it was something they said to do. I don't think it would be fair to another if I could not give my whole heart and soul, let alone trying to find someone who measured up to the one lost would be impossible.
It is one of things that kept me from committing to marriage in the past. I wouldn't have done it until the one came along that took my heart and soul. After a long wait I finally found you so nope not moving on even if you kick the bucket.

I'll be very honest. I love my Owner to death but I am twenty five and it is unrealistic to think that if he died tomorrow I would never date again.
Chances are very high he'll die before me (he's 47) and though I plan on loving him every day until that happens, I'm not so unrealistic that I would say that I'd never love again.

I don't think you would have a broken heart. People mistake it to be a total end. Your partner would live on inside you and bring joy to your heart. It's never the end, but just a transition and some day you would meet again. It would make that meeting so much better since you would have a lot to talk about and share. I think it would be hard at first, but once you opened your heart to it, you will know and your heart can't lead you wrong.

I was raised in the belief that life doesn't end if/when your partners does. My Great Grandmother was married three times and buried them all...she used to joke that all three men died in bed!

Would my life be irrepairably maimed if I lost my partners to death? Yes, would I be alone for the rest of my life? I doubt it...for goodnes sake I have two partners right now!

I wish there was an 'other' cause that would have been my answer. If anything ever happened and we weren't together anymore - whether he died or we broke up - I always said that I would lose all my self-respect and get into porn. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying that porn stars have no self-respect; I'm just saying that's how I would feel in my situation.

We have talked about this in depth.
I honestly do not feel it would be fair to any man I might meet. I would always be comparing the two. I am so over the moon with my husband and even though we have been together 18 years, it feels like I just met him a couple years ago. We have so much fun together. He is truly my best friend. We've been through more life or death type situations in 18 years than most couples experience in a lifetime.
I know for a fact, it would be terribly unfair to expect any man to have his kind of emotional wherewithal. He is my rock. We balance each other well. I think if he were to go before me, I have loved so extensively, in this lifetime, that I would be just fine by myself. I don't think I would have the patience to try to a new relationship after having one so perfect.
I know even though our bodies give out, our souls live on. I don't believe we will ever be apart.

Wow. I hope I have that kind of relationship with my man when we're older. You made it sound so romantic.

I couldn't say. I think either one of us would spend a great deal of time alone working through our grief, but no one knows what the future has in store for them.
I joke that I'd never want to deal with another relationship ever again, but I think eventually I'd find someone to share my life with. I think he would too. I don't know if I'd ever marry again, but I could see myself eventually having another partner.
Or? Maybe not. *shrugs* Who knows? I may never find someone else that would want that with me. There's honestly no real way of knowing.

My grandmother never remarried. Her husband died when she was young in her twenties. She said she knew no other man would be as good a husband or father. I hope I find a love like that.
