I am currently looking after my GD until my working contract re starts at the beginning of next month for just over a year.
Not in a happy marriage but we are quite good friends. The house is under offer and therefore I have to make a decision on whether I buy a house on my own or we stay together. Like a lot of people I am scared I will end up in one room with a 2 bar electric fire all alone! Financially it will be difficult if I don't get another job after my contract ends or start a business.
There is a lot of history as you can imagine but I have been totally in love and suppose I want that feeling back.
Am I being unrealistic to think at my age I can find a new relationship. I have tried living on my own and I was so lonely I felt like giving up, so I have to go with how I am! I have tried the normal routes to finding someone, as I have been separated but we have been living in the same house.
I used to be far more outgoing but now I don't seem to be able to socialise as I used to. I think most of my friends were made when I was younger but they are moving on now their children are grown and some need to get equity out of their properties.
I have a lot of involvement with my children and I adore them all and the GCs but I can't live my life through them.
I will leave it there.
