You don’t know the first thing about me, or my situation. Go judge yourself, not me.
I feel the same way. Except it would be no husband, no kids, no dogs and no birds.
I’m almost 55 and my greatest desire is to be simply left alone. I’m tired of taking care of other people. I’m literally exhausted from it both mentally and physically. I’ve never lived alone in my life but I’d certainly like to try it.
Eleven years ago, I lost my wife, my soul mate of 36 years to the beast of cancer. I sold our house on Cape Cod because I didn’t want to live with all the memories there. I moved to Florida to be near siblings; my kids were all spread out. Two months here, and I met a widow at Match.com. She is six years my junior, and I’ve been happy as a clam ever since. She has been absolutely indispensable to me during my various health issues (I turn 70 soon). I hope I’m making her as happy as she’s making me.
