Loss of a soul mateHi to all that have commented to my postings, I have not been on this site for quite a few months what with one thing and another, but after receiving a post from Dinabob I felt it only right to reply even that is very upsetting to me to do so. Life is cruel, earlier in the week I decided to contact the charity that re-homed my dog thinking that she had settled down in her new home. Not one of my best decisions that I have made in my life but I was missing her terribly and thought that it would cheer me up. Unfortunately it was not to be, I was told she passed away a few months ago and they thought it was due to a form of cancer, I am not so sure that being the cause. Dogs are like people they have feelings and pick up on people’s emotions and are very aware as to what is going on in their pack (being in a family), I think she lost the will to live having witnessed my wife suffering the last few months of her life, and being there when my wife passed, also picking up on my grief . I am only hoping that by me re-homing her was not the finale straw in her life. I am very fortunate to have a son that is more than a son to me and we are very close, on telling him the news he came down to stay a few days, and as normal we sat and talked, and during the conversations he suggested that I should try to contact an old female friend 13 years my junior that I knew years ago that held a torch for me, but at the time I believed in the sanctuary of marriage and we lost touch. Once again not a great move I found out that she had passed away in 2012 at the age of 53 life just gets better by the day don’t you think. My son urged me to join a dating site, as there are many people searching for companionship and more. One of my traits is that I study people, I like to understand and what makes them tick. After a few months I began to get disillusioned by the whole experience, it strikes me that many people are searching for something that is not there, The idea that there are perfect partners for them is indeed a fallacy, we all have good and bad points and true relations cannot be grown overnight by just looks alone. I feel that I would know within a few minutes of meeting someone face to face and having a conversation whether I could have a genuine relationship with them. My stature is very much against me being just 1.65 Mts tall, broad and heavy set reasonably muscular my photos seem to somewhat daunting to the majority of women. There is an old saying about books and covers everyone knows but do not adhere to. I am sorry about going on and on but this has taken me quite a few hours to write and has been very emotional for me, but I think it has helped. I do not suffer fools gladly and I just want to move on if at all possible. Best Wishes to all that read this and take care and cherish What you have. All the best.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi cubalove I normally live on my own but at the moment I have my son and his partner and their 5 year old son staying with me because of this virus.They normally live in London but it is safer for them to stay with me in Kent,quite frankly they are driving me crazy at the moment but its for the good.As far as travel and holiday destinations I hadn't travelled much due to the fact my late wife's health over the years and caring for her we never really had the chance to go anywhere. Hopefully when this situation changes I have promised myself to go for it..ViewDate:

Loss of a soul mateI can't begin to thank you for your kind words and warmly received,One go's through life making decisions hoping they are the right ones.After my wife passed,I made a choice of which at the time was truly heart wrenching.We had a rescue dog that was the love of our lives who was just coming up to the age of 9.After watching her pine away and share my grief I just could not stand it to go on,given that I was unsure of what the future would bring I made the tearful decision to re home her to give her a better life,I am and always will be a dog lover and rightly been accused of preferring dogs to people but I could not bear the thought of her in maybe a few years time ending up in a dog's home,I needed to find a loving forever home for her.After extensive research I found a dog charity specialising in Labradors which vet and match dogs to new owners,re homing them direct into their new homes.They found a retired couple that had just lost a 14 year old dog and was willing to re home her.They lived in the countryside on the edge of a village in a large house and garden backing on to woods.Word passed to me they are besotted with her and they cannot thank the charity enough and neither can I.Apparently she go's for two long walks a day and spends the rest of the time guarding the pheasants and chasing the foxes.I now know that the so difficult decision I made was truly the best that I could have done.But at the end of the day I still miss her terribly,but knowing she is happy is such a relief and comfort to me.I am sorry to ramble on but it helps..All the best.ViewDate:
