What about all the sad dating stories? The multiple marriages, high divorce rates, blended families, no. I have an aunt whose husband left her when her daughter was very young. She didn’t date and I never thought anything of it. She had a garden, she sewed, had friends, family she was happy enough. No therapy back then you just buried your skeletons and moved on. Anyway she did remarry, had to be 65 at the time. No OLD, small town, against all odds and she found someone.

I don’t want this. I just think (depression talking) that it’s over for me.
