I got an e-mail tonight from my X (he's an N, or was anyhow). It was quite pleasant and during the note he told me he was dating someone. Somehow, even with everything before were divorced, I felt like I'd just flushed 43 years down the toilet. I have this heavy heart tonight ..... I guess stupidly I thought that somehow, we could sit down and talk about everything that happened pre-divorce. But, since he's dating someone, it's not to be. I see each of my girls once a week and church on Sun. and otherwise here I am. I've looked for a job, but at 74, well .... age IS a factor no matter what they say. Others tell me to volunteer. This will sound greedy I know, but my finances are so tight that if I'd do anything, I would want to get paid for it.
I'm seriously thinking (again) of going back to Frederick, but I must have a job first before I find a 1 bedroom apt.

@amberpep I do not want to assume that the note you got from your ex is in relation to the book that you sent to him. Is it? I know that you took a gamble in sending the book to him. I hope that you were pleasantly surprised to get a decent communication from him, even if part of the contents did not make you feel good, finding out that he has moved on and is dating. I hope that you can look at your children and see that you did not spend 43 years and waste it away. Perhaps the conversation that you had with him now will give you pause and you will be able to better assess exactly what you to do from here on out. What might that be? Perhaps writing it down will help. Please know that we are here for you!
