How to break up with Mr. Won't Work OutPage 3 of 3    (1, 2, 3)
Beauty in Spirit: Sorry your having a hard time and in a difficult place with this one. I must admit I find it a bit confusing myself on why.

If you can't bring yourself to tell the man your true thoughts then just pull back and disappear.

I wouldn't make myself available to him. You are not his crutch nor are you his maid

If you are not dating him though, I appreciate your concern for stating a structural issue in his home but if they don't take care of it and your not living in that house.... I would have to agree with another poster you were offended by and say: So what? That is there business not yours. You've voiced your concern that's it.

I would not want to be in your delicate situation with a grieving widower but surely your intelligent enough, old enough and experienced enough at this age to handle this and get out of it if you are not happy or not looking to be further pursued by him.

Leave that to someone who will take him up on his offers or attention or advances.

who here thinks that the OP is not telling us all there is to know? Me thinks she is banging him and prolly has been banging him for the last 6 months.Call it a pity-phuk or whatever..but definitely she's alot more involved than she admits. LOL...

^^^ Well now... that is a bit unclassy to say the least.

Regardless of our deeper or personal thoughts, personal perceptions, or speculations on the actual situation of the Lady OP, Let's just focus on the question she actually put out there for us on how to handle letting a recent widower down.

Those answers are handy for all of us be any of us meet a widower or someone we initially show compassion for and find ourselves in too deep or changing our minds.

I'm not here to bash anyone who has courage to put themselves on the block and post a thread. I agree with you sometimes the story is convoluted and we think things to ourselves.

But really gourmet... that was truly unsavory of you!!!

Be honest with him. When I was a recent widower the absolutely worst thing a lady could have done to me was let me think a future was possible when in her eyes there was none.
