I lost my partner just over 3 years ago, I'm now dating a nice man, why do I compare, am I not ready, I'm sure I am, Maybe not the right man, but he is, I think I love him, but don't want the responsibility of another person. I have 3 children, well 18, 16, 13. For 3 years I've got used to being alone, but hated it, so lonley omg im mad.
