[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll give you my perspective as the friend.

One of my friends tragically and suddenly lost her husband when she was 42.  They had been together since they were teenagers.  When she was ready, she dated around and I was very happy for her.  Then she fell head over heels for a guy after a couple of months.  He was a really nice guy and treated her well.

I was happy for her.  But I was also nervous.  Having seen her through losing her husband, part of me was nervous about her falling in love again.  What if it didn't work out?  Could she handle having her heart broken again?   This guy seems nice, but are there red flags she's missing?  If he's so great, why is he single?  I wasn't jealous, just worried for her.  So that's where your friends could be coming from.

As an aside, I hate when people lie about what they are doing.  It's basically saying "I know you'll be jealous of me, so I'm down playing my life so you don't feel hurt".  It's very condescending [/quote]

Completely agree with all of this - especially the last paragraph [/quote]
