This fella, who was supportive of the widow...in my humble opinion, your instincts were right to be concerned.

Don't second-guess yourself on your responses/instincts. It made you feel insecure, and a loving relationship should not do that to you. If it didn't feel right, then, it wasn't.

I sense that you are going back and questioning and even berating yourself for your emotional comments to him. Don't do that. If a man can't handle emotional confrontation in a dating scenario, what would it be like in a lifelong commitment!
I am, I do question it. I put in another post that trying not to overanalyze every corner felt like trying to keep my eyes open without blinking . it's just a terrible feeling because logically you know its maladaptive but emotionally .. it's a reflex. im just shaking my head right now. :/
