Why are we even discussing this, it’s his business, and everyone’s is so different

Exactly.
Are they “up in arms” ?
Who?
None of anybody’s business. But I agree with OP if he is saying there is no such thing as a “time limit”

They seemed a very happy couple. He was much younger than her so was very likely to meet someone else. Good luck to him. I hope he will make another lady as happy as he made Barbara.

Exactly!
His choice, his business, why would he not want some companionship?
Such a shame that some people drag out their cauldron when they see another striving for some sort of happiness.

What is wrong with people that they criticise, he was a devoted husband, and has done plenty of fundraising since Barbara’s death. I hope he has found happiness again.

PS that must have been awful Sparklefizz, I bet you hotfooted out of there.

I met a chap on a blind date. We got on well and he asked if I wanted to meet up again. I said I was free on Friday and he said "Oh, I can't manage Friday, that's my wife's funeral." shock

My DH’s friend met his current partner at the crematorium after coming out of the service of his wife and viewing the flowers!

Still, better than before she was dead I suppose.

Her Husband has started "holding hands" with a new friend,
why do some people think its wrong?
Five years have gone by since Barbara Windsor left us,
is there a time limit when we are not allowed to find fresh love?
