If a guy says that he wants to build something with you and they want a serious relationship, but hasn't texted you for a day, is he still interested in you?? He told me months ago that he likes to talk daily. Mind you, I wasn't sure until a little over a week ago that I wanted something serious with him. Any advice would be great!!! I am new to the dating game after 22 years. Thank you!!!
I need some advice....
I just started dating six months ago. I was married for 20 years.I am a widow.I met someone in February. I didn't think that I wanted anything serious and went back and forth with him. We have been messaging a few times a day since February. I started to get feelings for him. He always tells me that he cares about me and is always thinking about me. Well I realized a week ago that I do want something serious with him. He told me that he has been keeping me at arms length because I have been back and forth. I deleted all of my dating profiles.
Since last week, I have been initiating the messages. I really want him to know that I am serious this time. Here is my question.... since I have been initiating the "good morning" messages, should I continue doing that???
My husband liked to collect stuff and I have been trying to clean out my apartment for the last two years. I know that it's just "stuff", but all of it has memories attached to it. I lived alone for the first year because I had to get used to living by myself. My "friend" needed a place to stay and I was starting to get lonely. She moved in last year. I was telling her yesterday that it's been really hard for me to get rid of his stuff. I am almost done with it. I am very hard on myself and think that I should be farther along. So I was telling her that I have heard of people that take years to get rid of stuff. And she said, "well that's unhealthy". I told her in the nicest way possible that she wouldn't understand unless she has gone through this, and everybody's timeline is different. But in my head, I was screaming at her. I had this immense hatred towards her yesterday.
I absolutely hate it when people say what they think that you should be doing....
Just read a really sad story about a woman who lost her life. She was only 31. If her BF is here..... just know that we got you!!!! 🫂🫂🫂🫶🫶🫶
I haven't been able to do any kind of grief groups yet and it will be 2 years in 19 days since he passed away, and now I understand why....
I started therapy 2 months after he died and that's helped me a lot. But it hurts me tremendously to hear what other people are going through. My heart breaks for everyone having to go through this. Maybe now that I have recognized this, I can finally participate in (in person) grief groups.
I just want to say, "thank you" to everyone here. I just joined the group a month and a half ago, and being here has helped me more than you will ever know. Big hugs!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been nearly 2 years since my husband passed away, and every time I see a hospital scene of someone in the ICU or having brain surgery or an aneurysm, it takes me back to the day that I saw my husband bleeding out. It becomes so vivid, like it was yesterday. I tried to condition myself by watching Grey's, but I had to quit watching it. Is anyone else experiencing this???
Watch, "A Man on the Inside" on Netflix. It's really funny and has helped me when I was feeling down.
Just curious....
Hi!! I am a widow (47F). I created a new account because I felt like my other username was too identifiable. But now I can't join communities because I don't have enough karma. I don't understand this. I didn't have to come to reddit to talk to people because I had my husband to talk to. Don't get me wrong, I am not depressed or anything like that, I just like talking to people.

I tried to ask this question in the general question sub, but it wouldn't let me. And then people asking for upvotes?? What is that about?? I am NOT asking for upvotes. I just want my question answered.
I just wanted to give everyone who wants/needs a hug, a virtual hug. I hope that everyone has a fantastic day!!! No funny business. I am just trying to be kind.
