My friend is now in long distance relationship. They are both in their late 50’s, been going out for two years although he’s now retired and living in his new home (in Europe).
Obviously Covid has been a big blow this year. His country has been generally less locked down and it’s been very challenging for her not to see him and also to see him out and about with friends over there.
He’s telling her they are still an item and she’s got nothing to worry about but he’s not invited her to live with him over there. She’s got her own house, job and won’t be able to retire for a good few years yet. They didn’t live together over here although they did do one lockdown at hers for a few weeks.
She really likes him and they do spend a lot of time on the phone and messaging. However she’s unsure if there is a point to the relationship now, weighed against the fact she’s not got so much to lose at her age if she does hang on.
Any advice please that I can pass on?
