It sounds to me like you promised to be there for her until she dies. To provide a home for her.
It DOESN'T sound like you can't love someone else. Surprisingly enough, the older we get, the more set in our ways we get. You might just find a woman who not only appreciates the fact that you are a man of your word, but also doesn't WANT to live with you, anyway.
Can you at least let yourself feel a little less trapped? And less like you are doomed to be love-less? Part of depression, situational or not, is that we don't see our choices. We think negatively about those things that are most important to us. But you DO have those choices.
It is possible for you to keep your promise AND to find someone to love.
