I think you are finding the long distance a problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about reminders of your boyfriend's ex in the house. He may have liked his mother in law and maybe they still keep in touch. He didn't divorce her, just the ex. Quite honestly, men don't notice their "stuff" that much anyway. If you some day live together, then maybe you could rearrange the decor.

You sound like you are on the rebound from you deceased husband. I think you need some grief counselling to put your mind at rest over your deceased husband. I have heard it takes 5 years to get over something as devastating as that ... not every day is bad but it affects us in ways we don't know.

Be patient with your boyfriend. But if you need to focus on you, then you should break it off.

aunt honesty agony auntDo you feel that you have gotten over your husband fully? I am sorry that your husband died, that must have been difficult for you. Did you give yourself time to heal when he died?

I have a feeling you are picking out faults because you are comparing him to your deceased husband. Maybe it would be a good idea for you to get some counselling? Talk to a professional who can get to the deep root of your problems and help you through these hard times.
