I never thought…

[SweetMaj]

In the year 2013 my husband died, and I have been living alone for eight years.

Two months ago, I was on a work-related trip to Odense, the hometown of
H. C. Andersen. (The little mermaid.)

There I met a wonderful, loving and caring man. In our relationship there’s
no sex involved - at least not yet.

I’m in true love. A deep, warm, caring feeling.
(Not like when you’re seventeen, and you completely loose your head.)

I’m almost wearing a constant smile on my face, and it feels like I’m in heaven

I never thought or expected this would happen to me but it did, and I’m so
thankful and happy.

 

[Auden James]

Why not write a poem or (short) story about it to commemorate the happy event?

 

[TxRad]

Congrats Dear Lady.
I hope everything works the way you want it to.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Magic works in mysterious ways. Embrace it .

 

[moreandmore]

So nice to hear that you've found someone who makes tomorrow something you look forward to.

 

[SamScribble]

I do enjoy a happy ending

 

[jomar]

Good for you, congrats.

Maj, I am delighted for you.
I sincerely hope all goes well.

That is certainly wonderful news, Maj! You deserve a good real-life man in your real life again. My best wishes for you and your beau!

I'm sorry for you loss.

And very happy you have found happiness. Always remember, happiness is an elusive creature, fragile, and precious. So hold on, but not to tightly.

 

[SweetMaj]

Thank you for all your wishes and responses
(It means a lot to me!)

 

[TalkToMeInSB]

Nice! You've given hope to us (recently) single elders. Dating in your 60s is interesting for the priorities you place when choosing a partner.

 

[SweetMaj]

I feel so stupid and sad and

He was not the man I thought he was.

Manipulative, self satisfied, arrogant, lack of empathy, and shy of conflicts.

We have been together almost every day since I met him.
He told me among other things, that if there’s the tiniest
difficulty or problem in his life, he just turn his back and leave.

I have a feeling he met someone else, he just disappeared and I can’t
get in touch with him on the phone or the net.

I have been crying my eyes out, with an empty
feeling of, how could I be so stupid.

But my world is not totally ruined, it’s kind of a wakeup-call.

Aww, Maj. At the top of this thread I felt so crazy happy for you. Then, seconds later, I find you at the bottom of the world. Life has a cruel way of sucker punching the very best of people. Sometimes even twice.

"But my world is not totally ruined, it’s kind of a wakeup-call….."

You are so much more than "the very best of people." You are an inspiration. Way to hang in there, Maj!

Everybody loves to root for the underdog. Count me in with the mob that's pulling for you, Maj. Even better things await you, I just know it! Setbacks notwithstanding, you are, and you will always be, a winner. And quite a catch! Somewhere, someone out there is going to be very, very lucky to find you.

I wish you all the luck in the world.


Ben

Maj, you have my sympathies.
Drop me a line some time

 

[jehoram]

It must have been a shock to realize that he was not the man for you, nor were you the woman for him. It's a shock we've all been through, I think. It leaves scars.

But we still hope... for the right person to be out there somewhere, to be able to meet you and have the relationship you both need. That's a sign that we still have an emotional life and are not dead inside. For that, we can rejoice.

I wish you the best of luck in the future, Maj!

Well, that sucks but look on the bright side.

You found out he’s a jerk before too long, and

There’s others out there looking for someone special like you.

Take care.

No wonder I'm a lesbian!!!!

You’ve just been lucky. Being a male doesn’t mean we have a monopoly on arseholery.

We're monogamous and have been for years. but most of my experiences with men haven't been so good.

 

[StrangeLife]

Well, this is purely anecdotal of course, but in my circle of friends those who are gay seem to have waaay more drama going on in their lives compared to the straight ones. Thus I'm not so sure that being a lesbian will shield you from potential heart break very efficiently...

Well sonuva bastard... at least it didn't go on longer. This is why I could care less about a relationship, all I really need is shallow love, after being fucked over too many times. If I want a real relationship; I'll write one, where the energy is best spent in such an investment.

your not wrong about that. But we aren't drama queens, so at the end of the day we have each other and my family. We had Jo's but her father died. Her other relatives are far off.

Had a young CD that lived with us for a couple of years. He/she was a super drama queen, and messed up on and off drugs like a yo-yo. Super cute (like a girl) and "straight" guys chased him, bought him shit (drugs included), and he kept our little home in turmoil.

Basically, I tossed him out on his. He/she lives in Vegas and works an entertainer in gay oriented club now. We hear from BJ regularly and he/she claims to be clean and sober. I hope so!

But Jax, baby, love makes the world go round. You just need the right partner.

My father's life when, he was younger, was a string of girlfriends, short term, long term, one night stands, engagements that ended, with 2 short term marriages with affairs, during and in between. He is been married for 24 years now, they been married for five or six years when they were blessed with pulling me off the streets to foster me. If they can survive me, they can make it through anything.
