Single again - struggling

I’m late 60s and have been divorced almost 20 years. Since then I’ve had a few relationships, none of which worked out. Most recently I had a very intense two month thing with a man that ended badly; there had been red flags all along which I chose to ignore but there you go. Before meeting him I’d been single quite a few years. He had made me believe we had a future and I was enjoying being part of a couple. But here I am again, single and disappointed. I really think this was my last chance for a relationship and I must resign myself to being on my own and try to be content. I have a lovely family and friends and a dog that I love. Please tell me that a single life in your 60s and beyond, with no real prospect of finding a partner can be a worthwhile one. I just feel so gutted my dream of finding love didn’t come true.

Is there no way that GN can check out that this is the same person and block them. They must have some unique reference somewhere through signing up.

When I first read it also I thought it was key lady again.

I’m afraid your asking too much of the capabilities of GN tech.
It’s dire.

I also guessed that SP was another alias for MT and LS. The dog lover is a give away.

Perhaps next time she’ll be a cat lover, but not so many opportunities to meet chaps unless you cat-walk.

I have a horrible feeling she's struck again as Serendipity22. I may be getting paranoid but the new thread about the woman who's received a cheque from her elec provider and doesn't know whether to give it to Scrooge-like husband who keeps all financial details to himself bears all the hallmarks apart from the romantic storyline and not thought through. I'm seriously worrying about trusting anyone new (and I was new myself a few months ago).
