Thanks for reading. I wrote this based on a study, and what those in the study told the researcher.

Older women who are divorced or widowed overwhelmingly do not want to get married again and have no interest in living with someone either. Many older men, even the ones who don't necessarily want to marry again, would prefer to live with their partner. The men you know are outliers —29% of men say they'd marry again vs. 15% of women. https://time.com/3584827/pew-marriage-divorce-remarriage/
