Thank you all for your heart felt replies. Some great advice and it truly helps. On my first date the boys told me to not come back married. Its funny the things that go through their little minds. Thank you

Hi, just looking for advice. My wife died almost 2 years ago, I've never dated before now, but have met an amazing woman. My boys are 9 and 7 and I try to be upfront, and in fact it is very hard to hide anyway, that I am dating. However, it has brought out emotion in the boys and they have told me they don't want a replacement Mum. I think they feel guilty and don't want her memory to fade. I haven't introduced them yet. Do kids accept new partners? I don't want my boys to loose respect for me. Any advice?

I took mine off after about three months. I also needed to take it off with some activity I was doing. I put my rings in the same box as my wife's and i knew straight away that this is where they were meant to be. Some people have said to wear the ring on the other hand, which is a nice idea, but for me it is a symbol of our marriage, and I felt it was better to take it off and keep them altogether in a safe place.
