Looking to chat and share life experiences
Watch this postHello, I am a 63 year old retired male living in London. I'm married but my wife is sadly very ill with cancer.
As well as this I have a number of other challenges with my adult children!
Life is tough at the moment but I am an eternal optimist so I try to make the best of it. Although I have some good friends, I find myself feeling lonely and feel it would be nice to talk with people who are not part of my life and provide me an escape from everything that's going on.
I used to work in a creative industry and love reading, movies, theatre. I walk, jog and horse ride. Love to chat if anyone would like to.

I am so sorry about your wife. I never married but was in a committed relationship for 14 years before he became sick and allowed his family to break us up. I never had children either but at the very least I can offer sympathy.
I would very much like to hear about England from a native and I can tell you all about being an educated person stuck in the uneducated backwoods of Louisiana. Even if all we can do is sympathize with each other, that's more interaction than I have now.
I'm new here and love to chat. I am sorry to hear your wife is ill.
Life can be lonely and I do know what that is like.
I enjoy reading and used to go to the theatre, recently saw
Ain't too proud, was really good.
I own a mini shetland pony, used to ride but don't now, not ruling it out though.
Be nice to chat if you would like to
