There is always those in our lives that not only „understand” your experience, but have far surpassed it.
It’s one of those twin flame connections. It feels like I knew him in a different life. Trust me, I know how cheesy that sounds LOL, but it’s genuine. I know he misses her and I think he bypassed processing some of the grief over the course of the past 2 yrs.
He is so kind, loving, caring, and so thoughtful. We have talked of marriage and he calls me his girlfriend to his friends and his family.

I’m a widow and I met a widower 10 months ago its been great neither one of us want to get married again at our age but we’ve become great friends and travel compainions.

Well…if you believe that, it will be so. I completely disagree as I’m married to a man over 60 who kicks my ass in energy for sure. There are many 40-ish women who would love to have him! (Too bad — taken.) Anyway, every person is an individual.
