I divorced at age 45, overweight , depressed, feeling old as the hills, and looking to make the best of being on my own for rest of life ( can travel, be free blah blah) . Six months later I met the love of my life, got married , happy ever since! He’s everything I ever wanted in a man ! So you never know what’s around the corner! Trouble is what you think can get you down. Better not think just do. I’d have him on whatsapp and send questions messages , pester him to go on holiday, keep him occupied. He probably thinks he’s going to be on his own forever and so it looks bleak. Just need to get him through first weeks. Every day will , God willing , ease the pain. Therapy is great.
