Wow, everyone, it's very nice to read all these posts and thank you all for taking the time out to post to me.
Absolutely I am ASSuming. I just drew a logical conclusion from the facts. Georgia and Juju, you are absolutely correct. Age differences don't matter so much. Where you are in life does. I think we were both really trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with where we were in life. It doesn't fit. I need someone in a similar point in life as I. So does he. He just happened to find it in record time. I am happy for him finding it, if he did, they are a much better fit given life goals and circumstances. We had something special, but not enough to sustain.
I did get a taste of a real R and it has been very difficult for me to lose it, yes. I didn't realize how much I missed sharing my time and my life with someone. It was made a reality I hadn't known in many, many, many years. I miss it awfully. We just happened to click and that made it that much better. These days I come home, go through the routine, D9 goes to bed, I stare at the TV and half-assed watch a show, or I read a book, but I do go to bed early because I am going stir crazy.
And thank you Don. She is perfect for him, yes, but not perfect. Heck, I don't even know her. She isn't all that hot either.
The good news is I am really taking an effort to not know a darned more thing about them. His sister doesn't log onto Fb all that often, but she posted something to my knee comment. I no longer follow her page, but I don't want to unfriend her.
I could only dream of finding a hot single PT! That would definitely be a silver lining!
Whatever happening now must be happening for some sort of reasons. Or it's just bad luck. But either way, I just keep going. What else can I do?
