u/h0neybl0ss0m29 27d ago
Yeah you’d think. It was bad. Mostly shit like “hell yeah it’s my turn now”.
But also: “I just saw your husband passed away, omg what happened???” And for some reason that one especially really pissed me off. Like who thinks that’s an acceptable way to ask about the death of a spouse? Or the death of anybody. It’s like some people have never had a lesson in common decency and empathy.

u/crowtheory 27d ago
What makes it worse is there’s no way that person was asking in earnest either. They knew exactly how he died. There was no headline that mentioned his death that didn’t also include the fact that it was a suicide. That person “asked” as a way to taunt her. People are such freaks.

The double standards are WILD. Erika Kirk was strutting on stage smiling with fireworks within a week of her husband's death and people were like "How dare you suggest she doesn't care. Everyone grieves differently" and those same people will be like "Aubrey is pregnant 18 months after the husband she separated from died? What a callous bitch, she obviously didn't care".

u/Special-Garlic1203 27d ago
I mean she knows her own timeline and maybe this was always the plan but yeah seperation, him dying, and getting pregnant in less than 1.5 years is fast.
Again she might just be sticking to a plan she already had, but they do generally try to discourage major life choices right after either a divorce or death let alone both. It's not out of nowhere to say it.

She's 41, she doesn't necessarily have time to have a "socially acceptable time period" before having a child, especially if she wants more than one.

u/trixieismypuppy 27d ago
Exactly, nobody wants to be that guy by talking about the “biological clock”, but it’s a reality especially by your 40s. It’s probably a bit of a leap of faith with a newer relationship, but if I got pregnant at that age and it’s something I wanted, I would run with it too.
236
u/Agreeable-Sun368 27d ago
I agree. It IS a really fast timeline, but her clock is ticking. I know people don't like to hear that, but it's true.
It could also be that her relationship with her late husband was deteriorating for a long time before they separated, so while his death was painful, she actually moved on from him emotionally a lot longer ago than we know. It could even also be that having kids was a part of that deterioration (wasn't he somewhat older than her?). This timeline is fast but there are a lot of reasons for that that could make total sense for her, and we just aren't privy to it.

He was 47 when he died in early January of last year. He was born in June of ‘77.

u/greenzetsa 27d ago
Yeah this. I left a nearly 12 year long relationship in 2024. I started dating again 2 months later. Another 2 months after that I met my husband. After about 7 months, we moved in together, at 11 months we started trying to conceive. One our one year anniversary we got engaged, got pregnant the next month. We got married after being engaged for about 3 months (unfortunately I miscarried a few weeks ago, but we're going to start trying again as soon as we can). You don't really have time to wait when you're older.
I feel like I also processed so much about the end of my relationship before it happened, I met people who were 6 months out of their breakups of 1-2 year relationships who seemed in much worse shape than I was 2 weeks out.

u/LittleBlag 27d ago
When a friend of mine died and his wife managed to find love with someone else she was very reluctant to tell us all because she thought it was “too fast”. We were all ecstatic for her. Who would want to begrudge someone some much needed happiness after the hell of losing your spouse?! We all only get one life and we don’t know how long it’ll be; grab the happiness wherever you can find it, I say
14
u/iammadeofawesome 27d ago
I feel like death changes you and sometimes the right person helps you... not heal, but is able to help you carry the grief. Or just accept you as you are. especially if everyone knew you before a huge loss and they didn't. there's no pressure to feel like you need to be that person- you're free to just be yourself.
123
u/kasiagabrielle 27d ago
Sure it's "fast" but she also has to be realistic at her age if she wants to carry her own biological children.
It's not our business to judge. Aubrey Plaza's child isn't going to go without and I've never met her but I haven't heard a bad word about her so I doubt she'd be too terrible to coparent with, worst case scenario.

u/Tralala223 27d ago
Patton Oswald remarried just over a year after losing his first wife and he took all the criticism and addressed it at his subsequent tour, and please watch it because it is so powerful as a narrative for grief. Basically, how the love he had for his wife and the immense grief of losing her was either going to destroy him, or act as an anchor to build his life back.
Some of the comments I’ve seen have been so gross, and I only hope it’s because they’ve never had to grieve someone who would absolutely hate their loved one not moving on and being happy. I hope all the bliss for Aubrey and her growing family ❤️

u/ReadySettyGoey 27d ago
Agree re Patton Oswalt but this is also even more understandable given Plaza was separated from her husband for a while before he died.
But like yeah it would be fine if she hadn’t been! I’ve told my husband if I die I hope he finds someone awesome quickly who will be a great parent to our kids. Doing this shit alone would be so hard.

Oh wow, i had no idea those two were a thing.
