@decka1965: I still go out with friends occasionally. Being sociable is beneficial, never any good to be an ol' stop-at-home!

Hi,I've just had a look at your pic,your bonny,you'll be knocking them back with a stick.x

@decka1965: Haha .. 😄 You never know!

He's happily settled now with the person he left me for. But it's good to know of others online who have been through similar experiences and learn how they coped. Life moves on. ☺

@Petitefleur: my wife left me for another woman while my father was dying of cancer. I went in to a black hole i never thought i would get out of. i could not see a future. but now i feel sorry for her. i created a whole new life that is not a reaction to her or defined by how she has more than me. plus, i believe in karma.

@innocentfun4u: Hello,be nice to think your right about this karma thing,my ex didn't leave me for anyone else,I left her after years of being controlled,living in a unloving relationship,forgetting who you are and all respect for yourself,when my father was dying of cancer in hospital,I used to ask permission to visit him to be told I could pop in for a couple of hours on a Sunday night,that was just one thing in a long list of many,after leaving she couldn't control me so she controlled the kids turning them against me,we've never spoken for 2 years. How as this left me,I'm jovial,fun to be around,women enjoy my company but I'm the biggest commitment phobia on gods earth,give up my independence,no way, I wish I wasn't so down on love but it would be hard to take the chance.

Nah, I don't think so! I would like to meet someone my age with similar experiences in life.

@Petitefleur: good luck

I can't complain. I have a small grandson who lives in the US and I visit often.

@Petitefleur: You can build up a new life, and when looking back, you think, I have it better now!

I hope she still feels the same about him when he is older (he is 55) she is in her twenties!

Yeah, shes gonna ruin him lol

Thank you! ☺
