You know when you have just sent a text and then wish that you hadn't, I also may regret posting this but it is either this or the other, again !!
A brief history, I was happily married for 38 years until my wife developed the illness that she died of in 2008 so quite awhile ago now and although life goes on, as indeed it must, it just isn't the same.
After a number of years alone and 3 years into a relationship with another lady we both sold our properties and bought the property that I now live in alone, the reason being that after 5 months of living together the lady decided that she preferred to be on her own, she had previously been alone for 16 years.
So, another year down the line and aged 69, body slowly deteriorating but continuing to work as it is basically my social life, but I do also enjoy the job and I get paid for doing my hobby.
I am still reasonably active managing to run 30 miles a week although I am beginning to wonder the wisdom of competitive racing as I am naturally slowing down which winds me up, I don't need to run 5 miles badly to know that I can run 5 miles badly but it gets me out.
I am trying the solo motorhoming scene but to be honest I am finding it difficult to do anything as a solo, meeting couples unfortunately simply emphasises the fact that I am alone, catch 22.
So, should I be grateful that I have had the " happy ever after until death us do part" life that many people never find in the first place, eg, the lady who left me or should I press the button and say hello to the dating scene again, again
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts thanks. As I said earlier I may regret posting this but if nothing else it has passed a little time and I detest football
