Hello everybody. My name is Larry.
I'm a middle-aged guy now living in a small town in North Dakota. I moved here to be with a woman I had met online. This is actually the 2nd time I've done that, having previously moved from DFW TX to northern NH for the same reason and having that relationship fall apart. Now I find myself in a similar situation.
The first time I jumped in too fast. She was quite a bit older than me and right out of a bad divorce. This time we are almost the same age, and we met in person a couple times. But now I find that things are strained between us. I still love her to death, but it's pretty one sided. So now I find myself feeling very lonely even though I'm still with her. For that matter I feel that way even when I'm in the same room with her. Often even more so.
Now I'm not looking for advice. I know what I should do. I just can't bring myself to do it. As it is I'm just taking the good days when they come no matter how scarce they tend to be. But having made 2 moves of 2,000 miles each within a few years time means I had to leave the people I knew behind. They have all turned their backs on me. So I find myself all alone here in a small town. I've always found it hard to make friends (much less meet women) in real life. I have a few people I talk to at work. But none outside of there. Unfortunately even if I were more outgoing, there just aren't really any places other than bars to meet people here.
