A woman, married or in a relationship, who is left alone on a weekend. Often caused by the work or work travel schedule of a significant other, this state of "temporary widowhood" occurs on weekends, when most couples normally expect to have the opportunity to be together.

Male version: Weekend Widower
With her husband's work schedule taking him out of town Friday through Sunday, Mary's weekend widowhood allowed her to catch up on her nights out with the girls.
