Hi Matthew.
Next year I will be 70, having had my birthday in January already and I’m feeling after 25 years of a marriage I thought was going to be a good fit turns out not and this was my third time lucky I hoped. In what you have been talking about I feel that I have wasted so much time trying to make it work. Probably because I had children for him, as I already had two from my English husband, (that’s another story) I didn’t want to leave for the children’s sake. So I kept trying even seeing a psychologist to talk things out many times and my husband putting out there it was my mental state nothing to do with him. There too much under the bridge to say in a letter but getting to this age now on my own I moved area so as not to bump into him or remind me of the places we’ve lived and been to. I go to see my middle ( his eldest daughter) and grandchildren, they live on the same property but he goes every morning to see the the grandchildren and calls in the afternoon too so I see him or hide as can’t be bothered with him not being able to have a conversation with me only a slight wave of the wrist as a hello. Feeling uncomfortable there at Christmas I stayed at the other daughters house not far from there to save my feelings. I hate doing this I so want spend time with the boys and my daughter. Sorry I’m all over the place here writing this I can’t see myself meeting anybody I’m too guarded and don’t trust anymore I think. I’ve joined new groups to volunteer and help meet new people, the arts, painting singing all thing’s I’ve wanted to do now have the chance without criticism from the other. It’s been 41/2 years alone, just one fling early on I new it wasn’t going anywhere but him being so much younger did make me feel better for a short time then I moved away which was good way to stop this too. I miss the hugs and kisses. And no one since. I don’t know if you can make head nor tail of this sad lady who only ever wanted to be important to someone enough to fight for the relationship. Living in hope for a friend not to live with but to spend some time and feel loved, special even. Too many years to write here which leads to now.
Thank you for your words of wisdom from someone so young I wish I had some of this. Oh I did meet him at a Relationship course, thought it might show me where I was going wrong in picking partners lol
Warm Regards Sheila E Bentley

Thank you, Matthew! Thank you for always helping me out of a funk to be motivated to try something new; keep the hope alive. I REALLY want to figure this out—to find an amazing partner and lasting,
committed love. Really really badly. It just feels oh so hard all the time. But, the variations of your messaging in your videos and newsletters remind me that I am not alone and I don’t have to stay stuck— I just have to put energy into being motivated and believing; and stepping outside myself to try new things. Thanks for speaking to my needs!!
