Duane 'Dog' Chapman says 'sex is a thing of the past', reveals he's nowhere close to wanting to date again
Duane "Dog" Chapman is still reeling under the loss of his beloved wife Beth four months after her tragic death.
“When your spouse dies, as a man, I mean as me, so generally probably everybody, you’re released from that obligation of being married,” the bounty hunter told People on Thursday. “So your mind and you go crazy. And then after a while, you realize that never will no one ever love me as much as she did. And I will probably never love anyone else as much as I loved her.”
The 66-year-old said his outlook on physical intimacy has changed ever since he laid his wife to rest at the end of June this year.
“Sex is a thing like almost in the past right now,” he continued. “I’m not having it and I don’t care. It’s weird.”
Beth succumbed to stage II throat cancer on June 26 at the age of 51.
“It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain,” Dog wrote in a heartbreaking tweet at the time. “Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”
Beth was honored by family and friends at Fort DeRussy Beach in Waikiki, Hawaii, before another memorial service for her took place at the Heritage Christian Center in Aurora, Colorado.
According to Dog, being around loved ones has significantly helped him with the grieving process.
“As long as I’m not alone. If I’m completely alone, then I start thinking about it and crying,” he said. “If I’m around people, it’s a little easier.”
Dog said he's still not ready to date again.
“Not that I have, but you know, it’s not worth it,” he explained. “I don’t want to tell the whole story about my mom, my dad, and my life and all that stuff again to a new person. Not yet.”
