OMG !!!

@DowntonAbbey   Please believe that what I am about to say is not meant to be disrespectful or unkind.  I do not know you 'from Adam,' although you do seem to be recognized by others here; nonetheless, just in this thread you have revealed:

• You have a history of unsuccessful relationships.
• This man in question asked for Facebook 'friendship' status in July, approximately two to two-and-a-half months ago. During that short time, your relationship has progressed to exclusivity, and you have given him a key to your apartment.
• You have just $1,000 to your name, and, instead of a bank account, you keep it in cash in your apartment. You entrusted this man with all your assets, i.e., your apartment, life's savings and jewelry while you were out of town. 
• You have incurred a head injury at some point in your history.  

@DowntonAbbey  In all earnestness, whether any of this is true (actually, particularly if you have concocted, fabricated this story), I suspect you need someone to assume the role of guardian for you.  I sincerely question your capability of making wise life choices.  Be safe.

You said he is basically stupid which makes me wonder why what he does or thinks matters to you. Your last husband had "mother" issues and it sounds like this man does too.

A woman approaching 60 needs to let go of thinking her appearance is a draw in dating men. You frequently mention your "looks" but at your age you need to be realistic. Your references to fairy tale characters would be fine at 20 but for an older woman, you need to remember you're not some young thing with men beating down the door. That way you won't leave yourself wide open to be hurt time and time again.

You gave him your last $1,000 ( I know he gave it back to you, but still)?

OK, I'll admit, I didn't read the entire OP....it was l o n g!  I think I got the main point (I did read the remarks).

Here's my response.  I got married early in life and if he was alive, I'd be (well, in my mind I still am) married for 50 years this year....

However, I dated extensively before I got married (it was during the Vietnam War and you didn't know what was going to happen tomorrow, people got around more.  

So, MOVE ON!  Life's too short to be in any kind of relationship where you have to question the movements or words of the person you are in love with.  When you're in love (really deep love, the kind where it's so scary, but wonderful, vulnerable, your heart leaps when you hear his or her voice, that kind of love) you should be enjoying it more than dreading and questioning it.

Real, true, deep love doesn't happy very often.  When it does, grab it and run with it.  If you are questioning this and that (other than 'this is scary and wonderful') you need to move on.

Two words....."move on".
