@Diana152281 Very nice picture . I see you are a grandmother as well. I have 3 children and just welcomed another granddaughter yesterday. 10 grandkids now.
@Diana152281 Every woman deserves to be loved and treasured as they should.
My marriage ended bc I had always wanted a partner in life, to share things with and to be loved passionately.
I'm A very romantic guy, and she never was... I was only a provider...
I do understand some of the men today. I get it. It's about them, and only them. I'm older (66) and the younger guys just are not cut of the same cloth. I dealt with my younger brother who was a narcissist all his life. And my last gf was a narcissist too. They act all nice for a while and then the mask falls off as you say.
I understand you. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that is the toughest thing in life. And you don't have to always hold it together. I've learned that. Take the time to mourn someone if it takes forever. There is no right or wrong way, to mourn. And you don't have to be alone either. But finding the right person is important.
I thought I found the right person 2 years ago, soul connection, love similar life... Except she turned out to be dishonest and a liar. It broke my heart.
But there are good people out there.
I'm not going to push it at this time.
