DH died almost 2 years ago.
Since then we’ve moved forward and things are going good for me and the DC.
What I didn’t expect is the seemingly constant judgement as a widow!!
I mentioned to a friend in passing that maybe one day I’d like a new partner but was in absolutely no rush. The look of horror on her face was a picture.
I changed jobs 3 months ago and was met with ‘oh should you be making a big decision like that nowadays?’ Was looking at moving across town to a new area with a nice new house build again ‘oh you want to leave your house? Should you be doing that?!’
I feel like everything I do is judged against my status as a widow!!! Am I expected to just stay in limbo forever?!
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you handle this?!
