True Life: How Widows Really Feel About Dating Again
The content below was sourced from real posts on the Whisper app, the largest online community where people anonymously share real thoughts and feelings. Join the community to continue the conversation today. When you marry, the intention is to be with that person the rest of your life. Sadly, sometimes our loved ones leave this earth much faster than we could ever imagine. These widows lost their husbands and are now facing possible reality of meeting someone else and moving on romantically. However, dating is complicated enough before you throw in the fact that you are widowed. These women keep it real when they confess what dating looks and feels like as a widow.

That's rough.

I'm a widow and have been dating this man. He just broke it off because he's jealous of the memory of my husband which I and my kids hold dearly.

I was married 11 years. I've been widowed 3 years now. I had my very first date last week and cried the whole time. I still feel like I'm being unfaithful. :(

Torn.

I'm a young window and I am scared to date. My family is pressuring me to put myself out there. I know they want me to find happiness, but I feel like they're being insensitive.

Pro tip:  when trying to date a widow, don't tell her that she's trying to be a victim when she has sad days and that it's best to forget him. This just happened on a date and I am appalled.

WTF!?

I'm a widow. I'm having terrible time dating. The men I'm meeting are uncomfortable because I don't hate my ex. What the hell???
