are you suggesting that the age difference was kept to ensure men die first.? I thought it was kept as it was believed that girls mature faster than boys. It was perhaps also to ensure male superiority over females.of course there is a factor that life expectancy of male is more than female.so that they die almost together.Yes, Krish Sir, you are right, Men will be like fish out of water without their wife; somehow Widowed Women manage to live even after the husband's departure, but Men without wife in old age suffer more..
That is why in those days difference between girl and boy was kept minimum of more than 5 years.

May be in those days men could not cope as well cos they seldom did any housework.
I have a friend also a doc who got divorced a couple of years back..he is doing perfectly fine.He is able to run his home totally on his own.
He takes advise from me and I told him to date a few woman but dont commit to anyone as yet and he is doing well with my advise...I told him only get married again when your kids are in college and make sure the woman you marry too has no small kids to make you pay for her kids..so play safe and marry only when all kids from either side are on their own so that you dont have any financial burden cos after all what is you need is a companion and not the excess baggage that comes with it.
So men these days manage well and are not helpless as men of yesteryears.
Dear Renu,......... So men these days manage well and are not helpless as men of yesteryears.

may the cases you have seen are different; normally men crumble, suffer silently without their spouse in many cases.
Women without their husband are far better equipped to handle any situation.
Dear Renu,
I am talking about the tambram mAmAs who have been bossing their spouses all along their life! :lol:
Oh, yes!! Many tambram mAmAs are inefficient in managing their house!.......... may the cases you have seen are different; normally men crumble, suffer silently without their spouse in many cases.

:clap2: Shall join after a break!!..... I feel its men who had not treated their wives well when their wives were alive are the ones who cant cope cos only in their wives absence they feel how much they took her for granted and they start to feel guilty and that guilt breaks them down but for the man who had treated his wife well and loved her..he lives in her fond memories and does not break down cos he has no guilt...and he can even move on and marry again.

(I am NOT talking about smart men like Krish Sir!!)
One mAmi known to me gave a sigh of relief when her spouse left this world!
I actually know an old TB mami who was talking of lack of freedom of movement because of a restrictive spouse and was jealous of her another relative a widow who was free and independant to do what she desired.mostly I talk from personal experience though somethings are shocking to say the least.

Dear Balu Sir,
By 'potrAliyOdu evaiyum pOm', the poetess meant the lose of 'thAli' by a woman.
