So sorry man. I would say don't worry about those sort of things yet. Take care of your kids, take care of yourself, get some proffessional help if your not already. And when the time comes, I think will find that it is not really a lot of baggage. Everybody, especially at 40, has baggage. Good luck.

Your wife isn't even dead yet and you are already worried about your next relationship. Men! You should be thinking instead about how this will effect your children. Fucking selfish bastard.

I feel bad for the kids. They're mother will be dead and their father is a piece of shit who thinks of them as baggage. If the world was just, the op would be lying on his death bed instead of his wife.

Ease up you asshats... I'm sure he is very concerned about his kids but also is anxious about himself going forward which is understandable. He is projecting as to what he has to look forward to... Coming from someone who was where you are (2 kids, widower at 41)there are many opportunities to be in meaningful relationships but take your time. The pieces will fall into place when you are good in the head... watch over your kids and talk with them often (even if they act like they don't want to talk!).

Single moms would be an ideal match, but if you think they're "not worth being with" than you deserve to be alone forever.

"No one worth being with"??? That's projecting some self loathing right there. No one's going to believe you're worth it if you don't

Don't judge in a vacuum. Maybe she's been in a coma for a long time. Maybe they've already said their goodbyes. Even if not, every human being would have that thought at some point in the process, and probably be ashamed of it. That's why this column is called "Confessions."
