Dont want anyone else, but dont want to spend life alone
I lost my soul mate 2 years and 3 months ago. Our relationship ended a few months before he died due to his mental illness and a whole lot of life stressors, but he was and always will be the love of my life. We loved each other to the end, but couldn't find a way to be together.
Im 47 and hate that I'm navigating life alone and dont want to be flying solo forever but I just cannot imagine life with anyone else. Ive looked at dating apps and met a couple of people, but they just aren't him. No one else even begins to come close.
Has anyone been where I am? How did you deal with it?
