I Divorced My Wife And Year Ago. I Am Afraid To Start A Relationship And Putting A Burden On Someone New But I Get Lonely.

I would really like to have someone special in my life. Any feedback would be appreciated. I am a caring person and still have a lot to give.

i was widowed for 4 years and had not met anyone at all, until I met my now husband in 2012. I thought I was fine and didn't realise I had PD until I was diagnosed in 2015. When I found out, like everyone here I didn't want to be a burden on him, so I gave him the option to find someone without any medical problems. My gorgeous husband said he would always take care of me and I would never be a burden to him. I am one of the lucky ones I think to have found someone who truly loves me and I know he would never ditch me if I get to the stage where I can't do anything for myself (God help me). So to everyone out there who is lonely and needs someone please don't give up hope, there are still good loving and caring people out there :-)

I like your answer, Buttie. I have been widowed for seven years, and would like to just go out sometimes to dinner or to the Fox Theater or other events. Like Dkm498, I don't want to be a burden on someone and I definitely don't want another husband. But it seems too difficult to meet anyone. I mostly stay in, though I am still in early stages of PD.

Thanks Trevor. We all need a little encouragement from time to time. I signed up on a dating site that I had used before and had no luck. I put in my profile that I have PD. Already chatting with someone. I'm pretty cautious on dating sites.

Tell the truth up front in a light hearted way, it is part of what you are.

I hope you find friends & develop relationships as I am sure you will PD or not.
