I'm sorry you have to be alone on this night. Do something nice for yourself.

I'm still disappointed by what happened with the guy I liked at work. ......This guy is someone special and I doubt I'll meet anyone like him any time soon,

You said things like "I'll never meet anyone like my husband" a few times, and after what, three months on your own, you met another guy you were attracted to? So it didn't work out. Give yourself a chance.
There will be others.


One issue I've been struggling with is some friends and family members being offended that I've been too busy to respond to them quickly or to see them. I feel so terrible, so guilty, and yet I don't have a way to help them understand that I'm doing my best and really wish to see them if I could.

You are doing the best you can. If they can't see that, then they have the problem, not you.
