2012 was a tough year. I got a DUI near the end of 2011, and have been dealing with all the problems with that, but it will be finished in March. The spouse and I haven't lived together for fifteen years, but the stress of my not being able to travel to visit must have taken its toll. She's asking for a dissolution. So, that doesn't start 2013 off well either. I've frequently felt lonely over the years, but visiting every couple of weeks seemed to keep us going. Now I'm in turmoil, emotionally, ending a quarter century relationship. I'm a really good guy, but it seems happiness is really avoiding me at this point in my life. I'd really love to find someone else to share my life with. I'm very diverse, and was a good husband and father. Where do I meet women my age, and does anybody have any good advice for me? |

When one door closes, another opens. Starting over with a clean slate is always a good thing. Pack up your old baggage and set it at the curb. Get out, take walks in the park, bike ride, exercise and enjoy your new found freedom. Join a group or sports club, frequent a coffe or book store. Put your new self out there. Finding someone will be easy if you get out there and show some confidence, smile, say hello
