lwb, I hope you are feeling better soon.

I agree that it's nice that somebody cares for us and is there to help take care of us when we are in need. However, don't get fooled into believing that you need another person to make your life complete. As we walk through this most difficult time, we are vulnerable to becoming victim of a "rebound relationship" that is doomed to fail.

It's exactly what happened to your husband and my wife. They both believed (and may still believe) that the presence of another person in their life is a critical ingredient for their happiness.

We know better. We don't need another person. We are strong and independent. And we will be happy.
