I’ve been calling every therapist in town for two months and can’t seem to get an appointment. F$&k me, right?
Send me an email. I've got an old burner one for TD and I'll get back to you.

Ah well your problems are likely much heavier than mine and I'm not the right person to help with that.
Maybe head out west in the spring, do some fly fishing. Maybe stay there for good if the situation allows

Stupid me was offered a job at the Grand Canyon and I turned it down. I’ve regretted it every day since.

Nah.
If a fellow actually reads what you wrote, you don't have a problem.
You are exactly right.

It seems strange to me that it is uncouth and taboo to eat in a restaurant or go to a movie by yourself, but totally normal to have said food/movie delivered to you by a driver.
I have dined alone at some of the finest restaurants in the world. IDAF.

I’ve got no problem going places alone.
ETA: Just saw your other posts. You definitely need to get some professional help. You can enjoy life even when alone. I hope you get some help to do that.

It’s an American thing. My friends in UK used to tease it about it. You Americans will not go anywhere by yourself.

I love eating alone and do so often. I feel like it's not "weird" anymore, especially with smart phones.

I’ll stop by the Penthouse by myself on my way home on the occasional evening.

Hmm, I eat out all the time alone and do other things alone in public and have never felt anyone even noticed, much less think I was doing something taboo.
That’s all on you! Get some confidence about yourself and you won’t stress about what other people are thinking.

you're not wrong

But, eating out alone is for losers.
You are very conventional, shallow, and stupid.
In other words, you are a great fit for society.

No it isn't.
If you feel this way when you're alone it's a you problem not an us problem.

Read your posts in this thread.
Considering what you are going through....only natural you feel this way.
Like others have said...keep trying to find a therapist. You need that unbiased ear to listen to you as you work through this time.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sounds like you still need some time to grieve this loss.
I normally don’t mind eating alone or going to a movie by myself. But things are really shaky in my own marriage and the thought of that being my future reality and not just cause it’s a choice of having some me time terrifies me.

Never thought or heard of this a odd. Seems like you really wouldn’t even know if someone was alone. You sit down, STFU, and the movie plays. Can’t even tell who is alone

I’ve gone to the movies by myself a few times, and I always hate it. Half the fun is discussing the movie afterwards with the person you go with. Same thing for sporting events. It’s still kinda fun by yourself in a sea of strangers, but nowhere near as meaningful as sharing that experience with friends and/family. It just feels isolating and hollow. Like what’s the point of the experience if you can’t share it? Eating alone in a restaurant is boring. I do so from time to time at lunch or while traveling, but it just feels empty. The whole process is geared towards creating space for conversation. Without someone to converse with, i don’t know. It’s like a waste of everyone’s time. I go out by myself to bars and concerts all the time even if it’s not my preference. I do it to meet new people because it’s one of the few places where interactions between strangers are encouraged somewhat
Different strokes, different folks. Get over it.

How long were you married? How long did you date?

I eat alone for lunch almost everyday, and every place I go to there are other people eating alone. Perhaps it's where you live?
