Better off alone

I lost my wife last year and I’m not emotionally ready to be with someone else. The thought of being responsible for someone else’s happiness is overwhelming. I have shut off my emotions and truly think it’s for the best but now I go days and not leave my room so I know it’s not good for my mental health I still say it’s the best option

I lost my partner two years ago. I still could not be with someone else. I have no desire to be with anyone.

@WonderGirl I think women are more intelligent this way, they know their feelings more, where I fear the author is seaching for an escape while knowing in his heart it's wrong for him.

@WonderGirl I tried talking to someone and was very honest and upfront that I didn’t have enough of me to give anyone but they started getting feelings so I cut it off and somehow was the bad guy so again for me right now it’s not worth it
