I have been a widow for a year now. My husband was a lot older than me and dominating. I never was treated well by him, although I remained faithful to him and gave him three great children and took care of him. Although I did grieve for him, God help me, I felt a sense of "being free"after 45 years. There was this man who I had gone to high school with whose wife had died two years before. I had been attracted to him forever, but never did anything about it. To make a long story short, we got romantically involved and it was wonderful!Never had I been treated so gently and sweetly. It broke my heart to find out when I got back from a trip to Arizona that he was seeing another widow in the neighborhood. When I asked him about it, he told me not to go and get married or anything because we would get together again. Can you believe that?? Anyway, in the meantime, I have had dates with 3 other men. Trying to replace that special magic the two of us had. And I don't think I'm ever going to find it again.
