People give me money and that's cool because holy shit is life expensive. Every guy I know (I only meet people at work) has tried to get in my pants. Gross. The stuff I learned on voat about single moms being good for nothing except a quick lay is a real attitude that some men have. I don't want sex, I want a hug. It's very difficult to not get those daily hugs from a grown man anymore. My children didn't just lose their father, they also lost their mother. I am a completely different person and I'm still changing. I have to be tough and that is not feminine. But I'm still alive and haven't quit doing what I have to do even though I want to burn everything down and fuck off to the woods and cry forever.

Thanks to everyone who replied, even the ones who weren't nice. I do have one female friend that helps me a lot. And I will take your advice and call myself a widow instead of a single mother even though the word makes me sad.

That's a nice thought but the idea of a another man is still disgusting to me. My husband was awesome, fit, made loads of money, and was really smart. I had something with him that everyone wants and almost no one ever finds. Finding that twice in one lifetime seems impossible.

I'm sure you will. I got a story for you

My late Great-Grandmother (Maternal Grandfather's Mom b. 1920 d. 2009) lost my Great-Grandfather (b. 1913) in 1990. She was around 70 years old when my Great-Grandpa died. My Great-Grandfather was this very kind dedicated hard working man.

For 11 years she was all alone. Then she found my step-great grandfather (b. 1915 d. 2020). He was very similar to my Great-Grandfather. My Grandfather's siblings had picked up on the similarities my Step Great Grandfather had to my Great Grandfather when they first met my Step Great Grandfather.

It could take some time but yes I am sure you will (if you're up for it) find someone you want.

If your kids are old enough, I recommend getting the family gym memberships and start working out. You'll want to keep yourself in shape for you, your kids and it could help you find another spouse when you're ready.

You have to find out what your goal is with your fitness. Figure out what that is and go with it. Your kids, especially your sons, should be lifting as early as 12 years old. They just gotta be careful not to push themselves too hard

All those things pale in comparison to if he was a good husband, a caring father, or loving man.

People here are extremely judging and when you say what you did...doesn't show an emotional bond in how they perceive a marriage should be.

You will catch hell.
