Hi everyone. I last posted asking should I give my partner one last chance after 5 years. Thanks for all your advice. I have sent him a final text telling him we are over and blocked him. Part of me feels sad about it but I know that’s normal. He lives very close by which is very awkward. Now I find I’m concerned about being 50 and never meeting anyone again. At my age there are slim pickings out there. I don’t look my age and take care of myself but I wish I could change my mindset and say to hell with men! I’ve been married twice. I suppose it will take time to adjust to single life. Why are we conditioned to think we should have a partner? I have my daughter and dog, great parents and a couple of good friends. That should be enough. I’m not even that interested in sex tbh. Probably the menopause has done that. It’s the companionship I’m a bit scared of never having again. A bit of fear that there is no one else out there for me. I know I’m being pathetic and need to work on myself. Maybe I’m just a bit scared now. Reality is setting in.
