Michael, I came across your post after searching “I’m 34 years old and I feel like I will never be happy”. Unfortunately, a lot of use have similar feelings. I do believe happiness comes from within, but perhaps a close relationship with someone would help. Have your tried dating? You said your daughter got married, and now that she is older I’m sure she would love for her dad to have someone to share life and happiness with. Just a thought. I’m here if you want to talk.
