    Many saying “how can she, let him grieve” vs “some don’t attach”…

    Third option… They recognize love doesn’t diminish if there happens to be another, and she wants him to have someone to help him through grieving.

    I have 2 partners, and if I knew I was dying I’d want both of them to find someone I trust will care for them.

      One of the nice things about the internet is that people are able to peer-peer share life experiences that vary so completely from one another. Polygamy for me is something I know wouldn’t work, but I value hearing the experiences of those for whom it does, and a lot of the lessons (a key one being recognising jealousy within yourself early) they have to teach.

    I can’t imagine ever agreeing to that. If my wife were dying I would be crushed. The light of my life would be extinguished. I wouldn’t want anything other than to spend her remaining time with her, and I would not even consider dating again after she was gone.
