I'm doing better without him, so don't worry too much about it. Old women tend to live alone simply because men die younger, so it's no biggie if some of us start that trend a bit early.

I remember an old guy who really wanted to remarry when his wife died, courted and married someone new, and then expected her to do all the household chores because that's what women do. She was aghast. He hadn't given any indication that what he wanted was a free maid while wooing her, and she backed out of the whole thing immediately -- much happier to be on her own than take on his expectations.
