I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize.
I’ll delete my post.

As I said he meant well but I don't like surprise visitors especially when I'm not up and functioning yet.
Your home should be a safe haven. Only answer the door if you want to. You owe no one an explanation.

Ummm... no argument here.
I get it, thinking he might have been in the neighborhood.
Still a call is expected.
I’m 30 min from city limits, on a private, dead end road. Folks don’t just mosey on by, has advantages. 🌲🌲🌲

I found that at first, I had way too many visitors, planned and unplanned. But as the months went on, they dwindled. Many people that were friendly to us as a couple, are no longer to me as a single. It’s just natural, I suppose.
But in this gentleman’s case, it may be something more. He might just be interested in how you’re doing, having been there himself. Many man don’t have the same idea of calling before visiting—I know my husband never did! He may just want friendship. Or he may indeed want something more than friendship. If that is the case, you might have to make it clear up front whether or not you feel the same.

I feel sorry for the man. He's lonely. Maybe you and your husband could start inviting him to dinner once every few weeks.....than way he'll have something to look forward to and won't pop in.
You may have friends and family but he may not.....put yourself in his shoes. You may be in them one day.

I'd have still been asleep at 9:00 am. Often I'm up for all hours during the night, so I sleep in . And, no, I do not feel guilty about it!

Your heart is in the right place, and I know that you mean well, but the o/p's husband died recently.
She already is in those shoes.
That's why this man came over, to check on her, to see how she is doing since she lost her husband.

The OP's husband passed away a month ago.

Only here will people jump to wild conclusions, and get all up in arms by a friend reaching out to help someone who may be going through a difficult time. People must have never saw each other before the invention of telephones.
