I'm surprised at how many 30-somethings are interested in a 48-year-old. I have dates lined up with four women, three are in their late 30s and one is 45. She's aged well.
Things have heated up quickly with the one girl I've met. We'll see where it leads, but I'm in no rush.
Got an offer on the second house (full price, contingent on them selling their house), so the financial stress may be coming to an end soon.
Still doing what I've been doing. What I've learned is that if you DB effectively, there will be three outcomes.
1) You better yourself, your ex notices and seeks reconciliation. Then, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. You may try to make it work. You may have moved on. If you decide to give it a try, you'll be in a great position to make it work. Unfortunately, this is the least likeliest outcome--no matter what you do. 2) You better yourself, your ex notices but doesn't seek reconciliation. Your ex lives with the regret. 3) You better yourself, but your ex is happy with their life. Maybe your ex made a good decision for themselves. More power to them.
The key to all three scenarios is to better yourself and live life to the fullest.
