  • I get a lot of comments on my channel about finding a new partner, a girlfriend , a wife. I have pondered this question every time it comes up and I decided to make a video about it so that you the viewers know what I am thinking. I really do have no secrets and this one is from the heart. I am sure the trolls will have a good time at my expense on this video.

    It is heartbreaking for anyone to lose a loved one, but life goes on for us. My best wishes to you.

    Give yourself at least 6-month "emotional" holiday.
    You think you are over it but you really don't, especially when your late wife had a major impact on your life.
    After 6 months, you will be able to better handle your emotional side and make better decisions/choices.

    I say before you try to find someone, make sure your pain for your wife is gone first. That way that new person is a chance of a new start and bot just a pain killer

    Its hard adapting to loss of loved ones and the sense of sudden loneliness and rushing into a relations at this moment may definitely a big mistake.

    Kirk you have to find an ideal mate for yourself. Definitely the word “replacement” is never an appropriate word. No one can replace anyone!! I’m sure Wei Fong wants to see you to be happy lover and continue having a fruitful life, not a dull lost soul. No 2 persons are alike. Not a single soul in the world will ever be the same as Wei Fong. Go for it! You are not an unfaithful husband. She knows!

    Take it slow, if it happens it happens. I personally wouldn’t be actively seeking, but if someone right comes along I would give it a chance. But I would be very selective, at that age I would value my peace more than anything else. I rather be alone than deal with unnecessary drama.

  • @axelschroeder6657
    @axelschroeder6657 5 месяцев назад +5

    I think you are right Kirk. When my wife Chin-Ni passed away a few years ago I had exactly the same things going through
    my mind, but then I was thinking: what if the shoe had been on the other foot? What if I had passed first? I loved my wife,
    would I have wanted her to live like a nun for the next 20 -30 years? Off course not !!! So go ahead, put some distance
    between you and recent events and then find another nice new partner. Think of it that way, with what you're doing,
    you can give another beautiful, middle aged lady an amazing, interesting lifestyle.

  • @diawlin-zp8vp
    @diawlin-zp8vp 5 месяцев назад +6

    I think in Chinese tradition, the greatest respect and responsibility for your passed wife is to take good care of her parents and children (if her parents are still alive). Likewise, your passed wife would want you to remarry and take care of yourself.

    You will be fine Kirk. The journey on Planet Earth is interesting and always a challenge. If another special lady comes along you will know. Sometimes one doesn't need to look it will be dropped into your lap. Stay focused on everything good as you are. People come into our lives for a reason, bringing happiness, joy, sadness, and grief whether we like it or not. Earth the learning Planet. xo

    @oldasiahack408 5 месяцев назад +6

    There is nothing wrong with moving on in your life. The most important thing I think is communication and seeing that your Chinese language skills are limited then I think your future partner most likely will need to be able to speak English. Take it from a long term veteran, you need to be able to totally understand each other, without English skills both you and your future partner will be lost in communication. Don't worry, plenty will say you can learn Chinese as you go along but that will take a lot of time and patience. Using google translate will get frustrating and it isn't correct sometimes. I need to re-translate sometimes to double check and then it is so wrong and need to start over. You choose your own path and what fits you, all good, I wish you luck.

Well, I hope for the best for you. Be wise as a serpent because there are lot of snakes around . . Find a lady friend to show you how to cook ,its fun and easy . Take care and keep cool .

    Being open to a new relationship is fine, but just put your guard up a bit against jumping into something too soon, even if it looks like the real deal, out of a desire to end your loneliness. At the same time steer around much-younger women who have a "daddy" complex, and be on the alert for widows closer to your age who are needy and desperate to find a nice man, such as yourself, to lean on. Weifang seems to have been an independent woman - maybe look for someone like that, who has her own life but at the same time is open to romance.

    I won't repeat what others have already said. I think your main barrier of making a connect with someone is language. If you put some effort into learning Mandarin, it would make things much easier. In the event you do meet someone soon, I wouldn't compare her to Wei Fang because it wouldn't be fair to her. Imagine the new woman compares you to her ex-husband? Everyone is unique. Hope you will find the right person soon!

    We hear you. Loosing a love one is tough. But finding another right person is even tougher. Take your time. When the right one comes along you would know it. There is no quilt in remarrying. Like my late wife said our Union ended when one of us passed. She made me promise her to marry again under one condition. That person has to be good to her two children. A few years later I did meet up with my new love, but we were not married for the children’s sake. She agreed.

    You're 100% right to get yourself back in the game. Much the same as your good self I lost my wife, the mother of my kids. We'd been married for 23 years, 15 of which I'd spent looking after her full time as a carer due to her disabilities. Yes it's true not everyone agrees with "moving on", I wouldn't think of it as moving on, love is an energy, and like energy it can neither be created or destroyed. You'll always have that love but you'll also have so much more to give. I tried explaining to people it's not the hours without Pauline I found hard, it was the minutes. Go out an live life, because the last thing your wife would have ever wanted was for you to become ostrisied from life, take it at your own pace and I wish you all the best in your future. BTW 63?? Lad you look half my age and I'm 51! If I can meet someone, anyone can 😂

    if you meet someone else is something only you can decide on Kirk. it is obvious your wife was a truly wonderful person and she will always have a very special place in your heart.
    I know there is something about Chinese women that sets them apart from many western women.
    I am not trying to be biased but your in your 60’s and I’m in my early 70’s
    yet our chance of finding a life long partner in the west at our age are very slim compared to countries like China.
    All I can say Kirk is take time out and heal my friend , believe me I feel your pain .
    Enjoy life and what will be will be .
    Your in a country where many people still value traditional values and not corrupted like the west
    and I think the Chinese system has no wish to go that way.
    I was about 59 when I met Hui and this year we will have 15 years of marriage behind us.
    She is without doubt the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
    You lovely wife was no doubt the most wonder woman you have ever met you voice and your face and how you speak tells me volumes about you.
    Your wife was very selfless and I know mine is too. I am sure that she would like to see you happy again one day. You have a large following and from the many comments I have read and liked it’s clear these followers love you.
    Keep your channel going and never ever give up. Your lovely wife has

    I would say you do what you feel is right, and ignore what other people say.

    Better not go out looking for a partner. If it happens...it happens. You will not look so good if you do it now. I am not mainland Chinese but SEAsian Chinese.

    Get a girl friend or female companion if a right one comes along, but not to marry again within three years, just to be respectful to Weifong.

    Wei Fang would not want to to be alone Kirk. I am sure that is why she held on as long as she did. Choose your friend wisely.

    It is not easy to live alone after you have a partner for so many years, but life goes on .. i have been doing it since i was 45 years old and now i am 59 still alone and retired for 4 years... now I just started feel lonely after retirement. Take care yourself and maybe you will find a suitable person to keep you company.. just moved back from The U.S and living in Jakarta metropolitan city, doing very well here.. watching you and I understand how you feel Gweilo..
