I feel bad for him as I finished with him now. I feel torn. I am a divorcee of a marriage of 29 years. I met a beautiful woman over a year ago and we have been committed to each other, however, our relationship has been rocky. First, my SO is a widow.

Heart Broken Girl: Sadness to Joy - Spa Salon Makeover

She was married to him a short time 2 years before he met an untimely death in a vehicle accident over 5 years ago. She insists she was ready to move on when we started dating. I continued seeing her because I figured I would gain a friend, and we would be friends to help each other in our journey. So, in time the rings came off, and due to a home renovation project the pictures are down for now. Whether they get resurrected at a later date I am not sure at this time. I love this woman more than anything, and she tells me the same.

But, we have a rocky relationship now. I have tried to embrace her past, understanding and being empathetic to her plight, and, comforting her when she is down. But, it is causing me distress as it seems there is still many parts of her CURRENT life that I am being omitted from, and, not being allowed to enter. At times we are happy and friends and family thing we are a couple. However if I am not around, you might think she is married and has a relationship with her deceased husband.

I am trying, trying to work with this scenario but I am having sleepless nights now. If she is not ready why does she say she is? And, am I being selfish? Any and all input would be appreciated. Thank You. Hi, Ron. A few thoughts, since you asked for feedback. Many people wear wedding rings for a long period.

When the Widow Starts to Date

The reasons vary. Though she was married to him a short time, she may have experienced traumatic grief due to the sudden loss. She may have been reluctant or unable to make changes for awhile. Maybe your HVAC works better! Social media means different things to different people. Maybe her pages are only to promote her business or keep up with distant cousins. But does he make as much money? I see that this is a very old blog but still, I am in need of some direction and you all seem very well versed in this specific situation.

So, I am a divorcee x 2 both times it was due to infidelity on their parts, the first time we had been together for 17 years and a wonderful marriage and 2 beautiful children and the 2nd lasted only 3 hellish years, thankfully God did NOT allow children to be created. So I have been single for the past 5 years and have always felt like one of my purposes in life is to be a Wife, even though I was robbed from it twice, I still believe Love exists and am ready for it.

Yes, you guessed it, I have met a Widower and he has stolen my heart. So, only 2 months after her death, he and I met. He has had many ups and down for the past 6 months but all-in-all we have gotten through them all. I am irrevocably in love with this man, he is everything I have prayed for in a mate. He loves God more than anything and desires to serve him with his whole heart, as do I. We have many many things in common but there are a few things that cause me concern and I am asking for a little direction from those of you that may have some answers to help me.

Am I being foolish, or is this something that is normal behavior? Could someone please help! Thanks, and God Bless- Tricia. Oh Tricia, slow down…no need to rush into anything. God bless.

Hi, Tricia. I would mean such as a compliment but would likely trip over my tongue saying it. The good news is… You can certainly revisit that. Can you tell me more about what you meant. Lots of us experience those left in our lives never mentioning our departed and never saying their name. Did you and Zelda plant those together or were you always the chief gardener here? Once in a while you might reference your first husband if only in a story about your kids, right? In addition it might help him to talk to a counselor or visit a grief support group.

Or, there are some great articles on this site that you might suggest to him. What a powerful thing that is in a name. I will use your advice in my relationship with a widower.

When my boyfriend calls me by my name it still surprises me. Further hindering this process is the sheer fact he may go round and round in circles for years. Some take it to the grave. That said, it by no means indicates his love or feelings for you. Having been there myself, in my opinion, the best thing you can do at this point is: 1. Try to lose all your expectations of him. To be frank, you will never understand his state of mind.

Besides, until you know what you are truly dealing with here, you could be ruining the best thing that ever happened to both of you. For the first 2 years my heart ached every minute of every day. To a slightly lesser degree, my heart continued to ache for the next 2 years and still does at more random times for random periods.

There have been times when I have resigned myself to the fact that the day he died my heart went with him. Then one day I met up with an old work colleague I had not spoken to in 18mths.

He told me he lost his 41yo wife 3mths earlier to cancer just one year after diagnosis. I was shocked. I immediately felt his pain. Then just like that, he asked me out. I was quite shocked, but accepted anyway, I think mainly because we understood each other. However, I soon realised how different his grief was from mine. At one point I had to slap myself for being a bit judgemental about the time he had spent grieving.

The point here is, grief IS different for everyone. Had this man come into my life say 4. Mainly because we could have given each other valuable support and a reason to move on. That way you will be in a far better position to understand and support him with effective strategies and guidance to move on.

You need to give him is a reason to move on. We can stay here for years. The only way I can explain what happens is, the day our spouse died, we did not accept this as final. Somehow, we end up continuing our relationship with a dead person into the future, almost the same as if they were still alive today. If he does end up taking his previous relationship with him into the future, it is impossible to determine when he will come out of this state of mind…if he ever does. Contrary to what he may or may not think, he definitely needs someone in his life..

I believe, if caught earlyish, with the right approach and strategies, having a person there who you can be needy with when you need it, significantly helps people through their grieving process. Further, having a person you have a calm, intimate relationship with, is another level again.

Sometimes we just need an unconditional hug. Sometimes we just need to fall asleep lying next to and touching the person we care for in the present. Not only does it help take away the pain in our heart, but it helps us realise there is life without the person who died. We have permission to enjoy the rest of our life. But most of all we allow ourselves to move in to the next relationship. Both well written and for those who like Harry Potter, both good books. Probably not. Nor should you be.

NAIM is dedicated to:

Because this does not necessarily mean he likes that book better. It simply means he liked the way Ron drove the flying car…no different to the things you love and remember from your previous relationships. ALL relationships are different. Your relationship with this man is neither better nor worse to him right now.
