49 year old male. My wife left after 25 years of being married. Over half my life with someone who mattered more to me than anything and turns I out I really didn’t mean much of anything. Our marriage wasn’t perfect - yes, we had issues, but nothing major and certainly nothing unsolvable. But she decided to run out with her new boyfriend without even attempting to work things out or even talk about them. And I’m left to raise our 11 year old daughter full time. I have no local friends to hang out with or talk to. Dating’s not a realistic option for years. I have nothing but a shitty job and a ton of responsibilities I’ve inherited because no one else can be bothered to do them. I hate my life and don’t really want to be here anymore.
