US EditionWidower struggles to find another relationship
- R. Eric Thomas addresses two distinct concerns in his advice column: one from a reader named Eric, a widower seeking guidance on re-entering the dating scene after the death of his wife, and another from a daughter struggling with her 92-year-old mother's loneliness and reactions to phone calls.
- The widower, married for 27 years, seeks advice on how to broach his interest in finding another Female-Led Relationship on dating sites, similar to the consensual dynamic he shared with his late wife, where she was in charge and discipline was included.
- Thomas suggests that the widower consider including his desire for an FLR in his dating profile, explore dating sites geared toward specific interests, and use apps like Chyrpe and Feeld designed for connecting with women seeking FLRs, while always prioritizing safety and identity verification.
- Regarding the daughter's situation, her 92-year-old mother lives alone on 65 acres in the Midwest, approximately 18 miles from town, and while the daughter and her siblings visit, and a niece helps with shopping, the mother often expresses feelings of loneliness and scolds her daughter for not having enough time for her during their twice-weekly phone calls.
- Thomas advises the daughter to schedule calls in advance, set aside specific times, acknowledge her mother's feelings, and explore the underlying reasons for her complaints, such as the conflict between wanting autonomy and feeling lonely; suggesting that the daughter remind herself that guilt is a reflection of the circumstance and not a fault in her actions.
