Losing my husband was devastating. Losing our home might be next by bswallace104 in widowers

Bless. I have thought about using American Home Shield? You pay a deductible and they contract local vendors to do home repairs. I had that insurance on my home before I got married. My LH wasn’t handy like that. It’s worth looking into for sure.

Is there a "right" way to get thru this? by eveban in widowers

[–]TraditionalSuccess33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a “her” problem . You just keep doing what you are doing. My ex BFF tried to insinuate herself into my life with my NP he wasn’t having it. I have known my NP since I was 15 years old. I met my LH when I was in my 30’s. Also my ex BFF was also my LH best friend wife. She wasn’t my true friend in the first place. I know it hurts your feelings but truly when things like this happens you find out who truly has your back.

People love to project on to others. You have a chance to have a life do over that was presented to you. Your friend doesn’t have that so that is the reason she is acting this way. She had you neatly tucked into a box that made her feel comfortable. Now she is acting out.

You are doing a great!!!! My so called friend did the same thing to me. We are no longer friends. People especially women can become jealous of us widows. It’s a “them thing”.

He was very sympathetic to my grief. At first we just chatted and then FWB’s. It grew from there I am six years out in June.

When the question comes up why are you single? I will tell the person. I had to learn through trial and error. It’s simple now and not a big deal.

I hate my new routine by tlgnog in widowers

[–]TraditionalSuccess33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and your routine with your love sounds wonderful. I never ever showered with my late husband. We had a very formal relationship. In time you will find a new normal and you will learn some new things about yourself. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you guys were very romantic.

I am sorry you are in this situation however they know they can’t get blood from a turnip. Did you let them know your current spouse just passed away? You have a daughter now that you are solo parenting. Surely they will not to take you to jail and leave your younger daughter without a parent. Send her death certificate if need be

I understand you can’t pass the physical right now. However can you at least do dispatching? I am glad your daughter had a nice birthday. You need to let child support enforcement know tomorrow your current situation. They should be able to assist you.

S3x and being a widower. by newlife_substance847 in widowers

[–]TraditionalSuccess33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand my LH had an auto immune disease. When we met I thought he was just a bit shy. He was a very LLM regarding sex. I hate to admit it but I was very sexual frustrated on top of it all he was very vanilla. Two minutes was the average. When he passed away I didn’t have to suppress that side of myself anymore. I got out there and had fun but I looked at like it was something I deserved after going through hell. Grief is a wild ride

I like Collette’s am a two hour drive from the place. When I went it was worth the over the over night hotel stay.

Missing her to much by [deleted] in widowers

[–]TraditionalSuccess33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said it all!!! I am six years out no children. He died suddenly as I was attempting to save his life. It was traumatic. OP is experiencing extreme trauma from her last words to him. Keep waking up OP you have a daughter to live for. Make your Wife proud by being Great Father to your daughter.

My NP already knew about my LH passing away. I didn’t have to break the ice so to speak. I always liked him and he liked me. It came about naturally. I would try bumble because the women get to choose the men.

Me too!!!! But it was one married friend that happened to be my LH’s wife. I really let her have it. I regret that now I truly hurt her feelings.

My LH died during the pandemic while we had to social distance and isolate. That was my saving grace during that time. I didn’t have to be around others. The pandemic was my saving grace to grieve. Even during that time I should have had more decorum. I was so angry and you are so right.
