Will should be shot and without benefit of a blind fold. I'm on the market and at your age me and women like me are about all you will find on the market. Not that I'm not quite the catch but I come with some baggage a man your age might not care to be burdened with. Believe me, you are probably better off dealing with your own baggage....baggage you are used to and now how to deal with already.
Let me give you another perspective on your situation. I lived in a marriage like yours. I know the frustrations and the pain of rejection and the idea that the entire world is having sex....everyone but you. I threatened him with divorce after years of being patient, communicating empathetically and just down right nearly loosing my sanity over the mess. I didn't really want a divorce. I wanted my husband to want me. I lay it on the line for him, divorce or help for the problem. He chose divorce, picked up his car keys after the discussion, said he was going for a coke and never came home again.
So, there I was nearly 5 years ago with the opportunity to go out, check out the market and find myself someone to love and someone who would want me. Guess what, I'm still looking and I have a better chance of being struck by lightning than finding what I'm looking for.
Sexual rejection and frustration is painful. More painful than that though is going to bed every night, night after night alone. Dealing with every day life with no one to sound things off of or no one to go to with a problem or no one to pick you up if you stumble over life is about the worst pain there is. My advice, as hard as it is living like you are now, it's way better than what you would find if you went looking for different. JMTCW Cathy
