I had a hard time looking at pictures of these guys before any of this shit. Now it's all I can do to scroll down to the text fast before the image loads. Fuuuuck.

And my theory still stands: Men who exclusively seek teenage or early twenty-something women aren't caving to some bullshit subconscious fertility science…

"Phil, why don't you take a seat?"

What a pair of shit flakes. When I read stuff like this I want to shapeshift into a bear and run off into the woods forever.

People are idiots. I know that if I were to pass away, I'd want Mr. Wheezer to meet someone wonderful and fall in love again.

People can get a little weird about Patrick Swayze. I've mentioned this here before, but a friend (using the term loosely) defriended me on Facebook because when he died I mentioned on her thread about him that "I wasn't a fan of his work in general, but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I feel bad for his wife and…

Apparently we widows are supposed to throw ourselves atop our husband's flaming funeral pyres.

As do I. I don't recall people in general giving Pierce Brosnan shit when he found love after his first wife passed. I doubt Liam Neeson, should he meet someone else, will be dealing with this vitriol in these insane amounts either.

Exactly. It would be different, I suppose, if she wore a wedding dress to his funeral and walked directly from the graveside to the church, hauling the minister along by one arm and bellowing "I'M GETTIN' MY MONEY'S WORTH, PADRE!" or something. But this woman was married to him for 34 years and he passed away some…

People are fucking dumb. I have a really beautiful marriage and I like to think that if something happened to the Mr I would somehow cease to exist...there would be nothing left for me. But the stronger part of my brain knows that's naïve and ridiculous. People usually grieve, heal, and move on to another part of…

Did somebody say "pets grudgingly wearing foam reindeer antlers"?!

This is the best thing I have ever seen him in. I don't see his ass, or his stupid smug ass face.

I suspect you are onto something.

Somehow I feel like this would not be such an issue if she were a man.

Also, while I recognize the irony of saying this in a comment thread, never read the comments. Many people are horrible and most of the horrible people are on comment threads on the internet. Horrible people need to validate themselves and the internet gives them the opportunity to meet the 50 other people in the…

People are fucking dumb. We like the idea of movie style romance so much that the idea that you would stop living your life because your husband died makes people all misty eyed and happy. Of course, things would be different if they were in that situation...

I guess some misguided people feel like she's 'betraying' Patrick Swayze by being with someone else. But that's absurd. If something happened to me, I wouldn't want my husband to be alone for the rest of his life. It's heartless for people to expect widows/widowers to live forever in pain and loneliness. Losing…

well i really have nothing to say, except Biebster should really retire, useless

You didn't do anything wrong. People get weirdly emotional and possessive about celebrities and forget they're humans too. Patrick Swayze was a beloved icon who died from a terrible disease, so I guess some people think his widow should just hang in mourning limbo until she dies of a broken heart.

My mom always says that people who had happy, healthy marriages are more likely to remarry because they loved their spouse and enjoyed being married.

That's terrible. By all accounts they had a happy marriage—I hope you did, as well. Healing and finding a new love is a good and positive thing for everyone. I wish Lisa Niemi every happiness, and I wish you joy, too.
