Today, I will leave the home that I have shared with my partner off and on for the last 18 months, and permanently for the last 6. Seems odd to start with the home but it was in an area that represented new opportunities to me. I will be moving back close to my old area, which whilst offering support is not ideal from the self perspective point of view, as I feel so ashamed and embarrassed at the failed relationship.
The reason we are separating is quite simple, my partner states that she just wants to live on her own. I am the only man she has lived with since her divorce over 10 years ago. Her daughter lived with her until a year ago, and she states that she just wants her own space. I get it, but we did have this conversation before I moved in.
I was not looking for a relationship when we met having gone through a very traumatic marriage, but having trusted and fallen in love I cannot imagine life without her.
I still feel that I have so much love to give, but I don't want it to curdle to resentment inside.
Life can be so sad at times, we don't bounce so well as we get older.
hmm well love for us over 50's is quite possible and happens all the time. Age is a number nothing more. There are a lot of us who bare the burdens and scars from a life lived for a half century. But you know what I have learned? One can wallow in the loneliness, despair and heartbreak. Or one can look to Monty Python for inspiration.
Cheer up, Zevon. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And always look on the bright side of life
Come on!
Always look on the bright side of life
For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!
So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of honeysuckle,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Come on guys, cheer up
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Worse things happen at sea you know
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose?
you know, you come from nothing
you're going back to nothing
what have you lost? Nothing!
Always look on the bright side of life

Now, whats this daft female saying, when I am heartbroken ? I do not feel much like looking on the 'Bright side of Life.' I have been there myself, wallowed in it. It bloody hurts. I have suffered from clinical depression my whole life. But one is never to old to begin again. It is hard, but it was hard when we were young to. We just do not take notice of it then.. We just were more full of wonder for something new. Had more, less years of knowing. It is possible to succeed and continue to grow at any age. I have done it. Do I have my bad days absolutely, I just choose to face them with a inner push, than give up. Do not fear, hold your head up Zevon, say buggar em.. do not feel so ashamed and embarrassed at the failed relationship. You are moving on, changing like a butterfly. I have learned things happen for a reason, even if you do not think so at the time. YOU are not alone, many of us have gone through it. Time heals just be yourself look for that star, that is not forgotten in your drawer.. Bright Blessings Zevon..pm me, if you need support or even to tell me to piss off <-- but I hope not as that is frowned on.... Just know you are not alone and I do not mind..
