I can imagine it going that way, too. It really depends on the person. It’s odd…we seem to have built this culture around distrust and winning at any cost and it feels good at first glance. Once you dig deeper, though, the whole thing is just ugly. If I lost my husband, I’d voluntarily choose to be alone. I’m not willing to have my heart torn out and having it used to beat me within an inch of my life. >_<
I think with the horror show dating has become in general, people are becoming more and more afraid to be vulnerable in even the slightest perceived ways. 😞 There’s a reason for the loneliness epidemic. Between mass narcissism and guttural fear of winding up with a person who will just use/abuse you, I’m shocked I haven’t seen worse. 😐
