Remarriage...

We have a 75 year old friend who is a professional lawyer, really expert in his job & with very good general knowledge. Last year his wife died at age 65 and he started his alone life. But surprisingly I heard that 1 month after his wife's death; he's gotten married again with someone who is 25 years younger than him.
At that moment, regardless of all my respects for him, I felt great hate, because in my opinion his marriage was kind of betrayal to his ex-wife and at that age he isn't allowed to make a new mom for his 5 children.
Now, after passing that time, I'm looking in a different way. Maybe my expectation was very high and cruel. He had lived with his ex-wife a whole life full of love and now when she is gone it's very much to ask the children to take care of him and even more, to be a companion of conversation for him. Maybe after her death he shouldn't be bind to live with just her memories until death. His right is being alive and live like the others. People's talks behind him are not as important as the fact that he is not alone anymore.
What do you think?

I think if a woman really loves his man, she would not expect him to live alone after her. What for? Will that make her happy? You know after all it's his own life, and not people around him nor his wife should choose how it is gonna be. :)
