It is now just over 12 months since my husband died from lung cancer. And he is just irreplaceable..i have such a loving family and good friends but the loneliness and feeling a spare part in their lives is very hard as I am sure you all understand..not being part of a couple with all the care and support you give each other... I miss it very much.
So I started to look online at a dating site a friend had used..and yes met 3 very different men for a coffee and chat..they were also widowers with similar experiences ..and no 3 is someone I would like to see again...but feel so guilty and how do I explain this to my family...my friends already know and are supportive.
Has anyone else on here any advice to offer if they have had a similar decision to make?
Thanks for letting us know. It's not easy. I hope you're alright.
Take care xx
