What kind of help do you provide for them?

I'm a widow - so I know some of what you are experiencing.

In most cases (and there are exceptions) six months is far too soon to even think of another permanent relationship. I also question why a best friend would make a "move" on the surviving girlfriend in such a short period. Six months and he's asked you to move and marry him?

For starters, do you love him or are you lonely, confused, afraid of being alone?

As far as promises - people promise all sorts of things to make passing easier for the person who is terminal. Only you know what "taking care of" means. Financially supporting? Emotionally supporting? I promised I would never, ever place my late husband in a nursing home - but at the very end he was brain dead and there was no way I could have cared for him, at home, no way, particularly because he was also a dialysis patient. So I would have had to break that promise.

If, in fact, you are family to them, you love them and they love you, then your leaving is a very sudden and unexpected and painful loss - their second in six months.

What do I say? Look at the situation very, very carefully - I think you are moving far too fast.

I'm helping my boyfriend mom in all ways, I mean looking after her health and everything as she is very sensitive and suffering from low blood pressure, I know she needs me as she alwys mentioned that he still can feel the presence of her son with me, and they really depend on me...

I think I'm lonely and confused right now, because my bf's bestfrnd really reminded me of him they almost hve similar personalities and he alwys been there for me intime of down moment since my boyfriend in hospital until he passed away his bestfrnd been helping me out a lot.. but when he proposed to me I did not accepted because I feel like its not right, I mean as you said its still very early for me to think of permanent relationship with someone else.. and I'm still in love with my boyfriend until now, I'm missing him so much but his bestfrnd alwys there to cheer me up..

Tell him your dilemma and ask him for more time. If he can not be understanding then maybe Its for the better or you can work out some kind of compromise.

Now is not the time to make life changing decisions. Let the grief/healing process work fully and then weigh you best options with a healthy heart, and clear mind and conscious.

How old is his sister?

" I did not accepted coz I feel like its not right, "


You answered your own question - and, yes, talk to him. Tell him your concerns.

If it's "right" the relationship will be there when you are ready.
