Looking to chat and share life experiences

Hello, 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'm from the US (Louisiana), trapped in a very small farming community where no one has any education to speak of and don't care about anything that doesn't affect each personally. I have absolutely no social interaction other than saying hello to the grocery store clerk once every 1-2 weeks, and very little to no intellectual stimulation. I'm originally from New Orleans so I'm used to speaking with people from all over. Also, the college I graduated from had a large foreign student population and I knew people from all over the world. I really miss that. I'm 62 now (female) and feel like I'm literally wasting away here but don't have the means to move where I could actually meet people I could actually talk to. I would love to meet people from other countries.

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.

Hi harps. You posted this a little while ago, I hope things have improved for you and your wife. I love reading, cinema, and theatre, although sadly I don't get to enjoy going to the movies or a live production much these days. Regardless, if you ever feeling like chatting with a perfect stranger until they're no longer a stranger, give me a holler. Best regards.

Hi
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
