Thank you so much for the comments. I’ve considered everything you’ve stated.

There is a certain frailty about him, and he likely isn’t good husband material. Nonetheless, my heart says yes. And yes, I am grateful that I still get to see him every day.

He likely does need a relationship within the bounds of certain rules and boundaries. I have already attended his church to see if I could handle it. I can, but it seems to me his beliefs are rooted in a deep fear of himself.

I have been trying to date, but it is difficult with young kids of my own. Whereas with him, we are at the same stage in life.

I think the path forward is to try to meet someone else, but to say yes and be open to whatever he proposes, whether that be just an occasional walk or a deeper friendship.

Thanks again!
