dont know what to do

Jo
Thankyou for the advice. Not sure what to do regarding divorce as ex is being reasonable over finances at moment. Not sure what i would end up with if I pushed for divorce as he is not a high earner and I think the equity in house would be split fairly evenly even though I have my daughter to house. Originally he was going to move in with OW but now she has decided she can't afford to lose her tax credits so he needs somewhere to live, at sisters at present. I thought the move in with her would help me with finances but that is not going to happen now it would seem.

Excuse me ladies but I'm in a rush and I've got one thing to add to my earlier comments...

I'm 67 years old and you're just young things by comparison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try starting again at my age. You know what though? You need never feel lonely when you've got good people on wiki who will boost your mood and stick by you until you reach the stage when you do want to get new friends of either sex. (Although I stick by what I said is appropriate for me - No more men!)

Take care. Have a better day than yesterday and hopefully a day only a little bit less good than tomorrow will be. If you get my drift.

Love

I hope you don't take anything I said as being insulting, because I didn't mean it that way. And I do agree each must do what they think is appropriate for them. x

Hi Mitchum

I do agree perhaps 67 may be a bit more difficult that late 40s and 50s to meet someone special.

However, the one thing you do know is that your stbx is not worthy of you.

You also know that at the end of the day when you go to bed each night, you will no longer worry about what he is up to and therefore will sleep more peacefully.

The most worry and sadness in my life has been caused by all the men i have been close to: Father, step-father and 2 husbands. Not going there again. the social life thing is very difficult, I have 3 jobs and still not much money and very little time. Not into clubs and pubs and wouldn't go/join anything that has men there. I have some good friends for cinema/theatre/coffee when I can afford it but can't be a regular 'buddy' cos of the time/funds issues.
It's a dilemma!
I also have nightscool starting again soon.

Age isnt a blocker to happiness. Being 67 is not old. I am 54 and I have a cracking life. Life is what you make it. All my freinds are in the mid 40's to mid 50's range. You wouldnt know they were that age as they act stupid sometimes. I have met women in there 60's and to be honest I didnt know.

But I do struggle partying to 4AM, and work the next day. Eating a kebab in a taxi rank in the rain is not that much fun now

Your as old as the person you feel. Age is just a number. I feel 18 sometimes. But I would never feel an 18 YO if you get my drift . There are lots of singles out there of 50's - 60's. And you would be amazed at what they get upto. Its def not tea and cakes and choir practice. The world has changed. C.

Age is just a number, it's how you feel inside and your outlook that counts.

I had a meal out this week with friends one of whom is single and celebrating her 70th birthday next year. She lives life to the full and is such fun.

I believe there is someone special out there for all of us and they will come into our life when the time is right.

My mother is 74, has been divorced twice and widowed once!!

She has recently met a new man and is dancing around with loads of energy.

She is no longer moaning and groaning about her aches and pains , her voice even seems lighter and she is having a ball.

They are going to New Zealand in the New Year for a holiday of a lifetime!!

Her new philosophy is that neither of them know how long they have got so they are going to cram it all in!

Might have to dust of the hat again!!!!

Life is for living!

Happy New Year and make 2010 your yearxxx
