My boyfriend broke up with me, and to top it all off, my dad started dating again. Stable employment is the only good thing I have. Risking my job and my heart is the most foolish thing I could do.TylerBeing a widower isn't like the movies. There's not a block of women knocking on my door, bringing me casseroles every day.
