Is it practically possible to be emotionally stable as to want to go into another relationship @ such short interval? If you can sincerely answer that question, then stick to ur decision...

Ademola, i think you should ask yourself this important question:
- Are you ready emotionally to move on
If you are not then, you would make your new wife unhappy unconsciously.....
I can imagine your mother-in-law wanting you to move on quick( by the way, she is a rare one!! i like her) if you are slowly killing yourself.
I think, you should search your heart, you would know if you are ready emotionally. You know you need to give your all in any relationship.

If you have someone you are interested in, then its better to start a relationship rather than sin.
I know people think you should stay for like eternity to show your love for the dead spouse but this life is only for the living. cherish her in your heart.

Wish you the best.

Are u sure u are just not looking for a shoulder to lean on in this trying period;why not sort your feelings out first before you get committed to another relationship.

Adanma, there was no child. Please read Ademola's comment to Morgan.
Ademola, you may need to take some time out, away from everyone and really be calm within to assess the emotions you are going through. Your mother in law may mean well, but you will be the one living with the partner. May your path and thoughts be directed by God.

Dear Ademola,
Now your 2nd question makes more sense. I believe the way you feel, the guilt, flashes, etc have answered your own question. You are psychologically unprepared. Give yourself time..................... go join a recreation club, get involved in sports, travel, see the world, do whatever you can to take your mind off, and heal properly before going into a new relationship or else it will adversely affect the new relationship. When it is time, you will know. You will be more at peace within.
