I met a gal who seemed really nice a few years back - she was widowed, As it turned out, widowed many years before. Got a nice home as a result; she remodeled it herself, she said.
Went on a date to find all this out, eat pizza watched cable movie. She mentioned that in the mean time she had had another boyfriend but he died a few years prior. Something creeped me out. She wanted to have another date.
Later I heard from her again. She had married a vet she was caring for as a Visiting Angel. He died as a result of something. She got VA care for life,his SS, and his pension as well.
Major creep out. Black Widow. Most single women my age seem like they were hit hard with an ugly stick.
I once talked with an investigator for a life insurance company and he said those black widows, male and female, are very common out there......
Not that they kill the spouse but marry the ill ones then wait till they die......
