I had a few dates with a man who on paper had everything I liked. His first wife had died 23 years prior and he had subsequently had 2 other short term marriages. There was not a conversation where he did not end up talking about his first wife? I rapidly got fed up with it all and told him I didn’t want to catch up again. Seriously, 23 years ago? I was married 34 years and very rarely mention my Ex.

Hi Pam….how frustrating this must have felt for you. Men do not have the social connections we as women have so they work their “Baggage” out with women they date. The guy needs a therapist not a girlfriend and probably shouldn’t be out there dating if he’s still grieving his late wife 23 years later. Moving on was a good choice for you. Congrats for not settling for someone whose heart was not present to love.
