I am in the same boat,and it is definitely not what I wanted to be doing at this age. It is painful to go to the store and see couples together, and realize there is no one who cares. I couldnt even find a forum to join that could relate to someone getting a divorce after 45 years.
I don't what will happen but I do know I must go forward. I cry everytime I think of what's gone. It does seem impossible to let so much of our lifetime go. He's coming for lunch today,maybe it will be better for both of us to be open and honest. Who knows such a mess. Such pain and heartache. No anger,.
