I know exactly how you ladies are feeling. For six years I was on my own before I married again. I got a taste of what it was like being single for the first time in my life after my second husband died. The children had already left home.
It's great to do what you want to do, when you want to do it, but it also can be very lonely, especially when you have had a lot of people in your life that depended on you and you cared for them. Lonely and feeling useless is a hard bite to take. Still, having a bit of ME time and not someone under your feet all the time is heaven when it happens.
My OH keeps busy as much as he can, or he helps me with the housework. Today he had to travel a long distance to deliver a couple of the glass paintings he does. I had five hours alone in the house and could concentrate on writing descriptions for my eBay listings without interruptions for coffee or conversations. It was bliss.
And then the darling came home with two TV dinners and told me that he thought I may like a break from cooking. ๐
Love them or leave them they say. I'd rather have my man around than be alone again. Freedom is great, but it is not the greatest company. But that's just me.:-D
Have a wonderful night everyone.
Cheers, Erica :-x
