Is He Trying to Turn Me Into His Dead Wife? 😰💔

Hey everyone, I'm completely lost and need your advice! 😔 I've been close friends with this amazing guy for three years - he's sweet, caring, and we have such a great connection. His wife passed away suddenly less than six months ago, and we've grown closer since then. Here's where it gets weird though... 🤔 He wants to take me to the exact same restaurant where he and his wife always went for their dates. He offered to buy me the same perfume she used to wear! When I suggested doing something different, somewhere new, he actually got upset with me. I feel like he's trying to recreate his life with her, but with me filling her role instead. 😢 Am I overthinking this? Have any of you dealt with someone who couldn't let go of the past? I really care about him, but I need to be me, not a replacement for someone else. What would you do in my situation? I'm so confused right now... 💭 #relationships #grief #dating #FamilyRelationships
