My husband died too, a little over two years ago. I didn't want a new relationship for most of that time. It wasn't until recently that I had the desire. I'm slowly getting into the dating world. Been on a couple of dates with someone. I'm afraid though that when he discovers I have bipolar, he will run for the hills. I'm trying to show him I'm normal and have it well under control before I reveal.

I do have trouble making new friends. I don't really have the desire for superfluous friendships. Too much work. I have my two sisters in law and that's it. I don't want any more friends.
