After divorce 12 years ago, an "almost" re-marriage, and a disasterous relationship when I sold my house and moved in with an unstable man, I am now, at age 75, looking at being alone for the duration.
Part of me would like to have a partner again,even if for no other reason that to help with the house and property. But part of me just doesn't want to be bothered.
I've always been an introvert and people can drain me.
I have a (male)friend I hike with weekly, a former lover who I talk to every day,and a new guy who seems interested. But I don't know if I have the emotional bandwith to procede in a relationship.
So it's just me and my little dog.
