Feeling i ve been taken for a ride

Barley fields I think you are right but I do crave companionship
I can’t rely on my children to do th is
They have their own lives and I respect that
They might have to understand how I feel

I think you are right : I shouldn’t have believed what I was told , I feel such a fool

There’s plenty of casual relationships to be had if you’re looking for distraction. I wouldn’t blame the OP for seeking them out. but the OP seemed to be wanting a commitment with this man.

I just can’t see the kind of man who is looking for a committed relationship being comfortable with a relationship with a married woman who husband has dementia.

I can’t make that work in my head. That’s two completely different types of person.

Yes, he's an old fool, but Miss Colombia probably won't dump him, he is probably her meal ticket to a better life.

He needs to be careful nipping to and from Colombia, it's a dangerous place. Customs and Immigration may have their eye on him too and wonder what he's up to.

You deserve better.

Yes there is 17 years between my husband and me and I am now paying the price for this and I regret it very much
My husband is still alive but has dementia and both my counsellor and the dementia nurse tell me it’s ok to date again in order to help with the immense loneliness I feel
Please don’t judge , it’s really hard

Oh please think twice about that.
We know someone who did that. His wife may have had dementia and was in a home but she still sensed there was something amiss.

People were (and some still are) offering advice on this current thread, but, as other GNs have now pointed out, this lady has posted before and is married, so, personally, I see it as a more complex issue and perhaps not to be taken at face value.

Yes, I can see it’s far more complex than it seemed at first. It’s not for me to judge, but I expect many would if they saw the OP was in a new relationship whilst her husband was still alive, and I can’t see a man worth having wanting to become involved with her in these circumstances.
