Indeed...it's like he's wrapping it all up with the thanking of rescue teams and authorities. Like he's ready for it to be over so he can move on with his life. I'm sure Esther would like to be moving on with her life too.Dan seems to think everything is ok and he’s out of the woods. I don’t think he is yet. It’s all very strange and I don’t usually pick up on things like this. The three days with no contact baffles me. If you lived someone that much you would contact them.
Sounds dodgy.I think some women are as bad. Someone I know husband was murdered in may. By October the same year she was living with someone else with her four children. One of who was only a year old.
Yeah, I don't get how they move on super fast like it's nothing. Did you really even care about the person? No one is saying they should wallow in self pity for the rest of their life/ not find another partner eventually.....but when it's so fast ...Sounds dodgy.
From what I've read, only those with something "off" in their personalities can do this. It's not normal.
One of them is a narc & the other (target) may be normal but suckered in with a sob story.
These are people who cannot live without having their "false selves" propped up by another person.Yeah, I don't get how they move on super fast like it's nothing.

I agree. Are these the narcissist of the world would you say? As they always need their ego stroked.These are people who cannot live without having their "false selves" propped up by another person.
It's got nothing to do with love.
If they didn't have a partner they'd commit suicide. So they do what they have to.
Very hard for us to understand.
Yes. And Esther was a typical target. Kind. Not a mean bone in her body. Strong enough to survive the put-downs but not strong enough to outright leave. Susceptible to emotional blackmail.I agree. Are these the narcissist of the world would you say? As they always need their ego stroked.
I used to follow the BBC presenter Rachael Bland, who sadly died of cancer. Her husband moved on very quickly with a woman who looks just like Rachael and has also got himself a nice radio/Instagram side gig (even though it was Rachael who spent 20 years building a broadcasting career) out of being a 'cancer husband' where he gets constantly fawned over by women for being such an amazing guy.Men often move on quickly, I’ve seen it happen a lot on Instagram after women have shared their cancer journey and sadly died.
I think people are completely entitled to find love again, but the timing does matter. I also think jumping straight into a new relationship within months of a partner dying isn't good for the person or the new partner either. I understand that some people feel they can't cope alone or want to run away from their grief, but those aren't necessarily healthy things to do. Suffering is part of life – not forever, but for a respectful amount of time.Interested to know when you guys think is an acceptable time to move on to a new partner? Does it depend on relationship length? Seriousness of relationship? Age you are when your partner dies?
I feel like what you’re basically saying is you’d prefer to see a grieving person suffer alone rather than meet someone and make the most of the life they are left with.
Life is for the living not the dead. I say good luck to anyone who’s lost a partner and has a second chance at happiness. I expect they know more than most that happiness can be fleeting and life is fragile. That would be an incentive to move on and make a new life with someone else.
I don't think anyone believes people must stay single for years and suffer.Interested to know when you guys think is an acceptable time to move on to a new partner? Does it depend on relationship length? Seriousness of relationship? Age you are when your partner dies?

I think people can move on when they feel the need to,but sometimes it would be nice of they waited longer than six months before shacking up with someone else. Many of these people have children to consider and they have lost a parent too.Interested to know when you guys think is an acceptable time to move on to a new partner?

I did say I don't expect them to forever stay single and sad. But the speed at which some people have moved on is rather weird IMO.Interested to know when you guys think is an acceptable time to move on to a new partner? Does it depend on relationship length?

Ms. Lawson 'moved on' well before her husband died...How quickly did Nigella move on to Charles Saatchi after her husband died? Look how that turned out.
