Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.First off #2 is important but one has to be careful and not go overboard (done that).
Also, this seems to be about people in different situations (one a widow(er) and one divorced)
#3 is a sore point for me because I have had 2 relationships ruined because of meddling families,
#7 I agree with and feel the same. Even though I had a great marriage I would not want another to be exactly like her. Differences are important in life and wanting a replacement partner is not fair to anyone.
#8 I work with my hands and didn't wear my ring. After a while of losing hers over and over she finally took it off and also didn't wear it. I think someone who still wears their ring after a loss seems to be sending a message she(he) is not ready.
Finally, at my 'stage of life' and experiences, I would want the other to be mature enough to not hang on to things in her past (children, families). It should be about her and her happiness and a willingness to move forward. I think I would have a problem with someone who was only married once and didn't understand how to play the "dating game". Also for me, you don't appreciate something or someone until you have lost it. That appreciation should be reflected on a new partner.
