Hi everyone,
Sorry if it seemed that I'd disappeared for a couple of weeks but I have been very busy working 6 day a week and moving.
First the bad news:
Memorial day weekend I discovered that my husband had become a little too chummy with a neighbor lady who hangs out in the neighborhood and drinks a lot. He decided that I have become a complete turn off and he wants a divorce. As long as I play by his rules he has been very helpful about getting my stuff moved to an apartment in a nearby city. He even paid for the movers. I am sorry to see 15 years thrown away but after I became sick about 5 years ago things got bad because I could no longer keep up with him and work and the house like I used to and then 2 years ago when I was hospitalized and put on 02 I could tell that he had lost all interest in me and even became purposefully mean at times because he knew I could no longer keep up so he would leave me behind. I believe getting away from the anxiety and upset that I have been living in will help me get some of my health back. I haven't completely bounced back from that attack I had Memorial day weekend when I had to use my pred. taper. On top of all that I have been working for 2 weeks 6 hours a day (MY ENTIRE VACATION TIME!) doing this moving and stirring up dust and allergens that I breathed in so I am very chest congested and SOB.
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS:
The place I have moved to is a very beautiful senior community. It is located 10 minutes from a top notch hospital and medical center. There are many activities and games at my new apartment community and I even have a pool to exercise in. I have NEVER lived ALL ALONE in my entire life. This will be a new experience for me
Again I am sorry that I seemed to disappear.

I think it is great that you got into good housing and now have the possibility to make friends who are truly supportive to you. I'm sure you will be a lot better off in your new setting. I hope from now on your life will be more peaceful..I can imagine how difficult it must be for you, but in the long run you are much better off. I know you have been looking forward to your retirement...now you have a much better chance that it will be a good one!
Lots of hugs Heike
It does sound like you have moved into a good place. After your move, and a bit of rest, you will be able to meet new people, and be at peace for once.
I wish you happiness, and living alone is better than being lonely living with someone...Take this chance to take care of you now..

You just got a head start on many of us that may need to make similar moves in the future.
About your husband?. Well the other woman deserves him. He better hope that he never gets sick and she feels like him about that.
I will do the happy dance if I can manage. Good work kiddo.
I know this is a very scary time for you but the amenities at the new place sound amazing!
You just might find living alone in a fresh new setting to be the best thing that has ever happened to you!
My first husband left me years ago for a much younger woman (he is now beginning his fourth marriage) At the time I could only see it as a disaster and I had just begun a new and demanding job, along with care of the house and sons alone. But I was shocked to see how quickly I adapted to not coming home to a grumpy, anxious husband. A few years later I met the love of my life and had another 20 years of marriage, albeit a happy one this time. Sad to say that my second died of pancreatic cancer but I was blessed to have those wonderful years with him and am forever grateful.
I'm wishing you the very best for the future.
Hugs, Cindy

When a door closes another opens...take care n hugs Peter
wow..wow...wow..no worries now..all you did for him you no longer have to do...thats the bright side and look on the bright side for you sound like a mover and grover to me.
you in senor apartment complex with new friends card games, a pool, tell me more...maybe i be your new house pal...ha ha..you did the right thing and glad the ex helped you get to a better life i think..let me know how your doing in the new place for i see me moving to a place like that pretty soon..time to move on..the running wild days are over for me too..
hugs...
your new place sounds great though & hopefully you will make many new friends.
after my last divorce i realized there was a far worse loneliness than being alone.
and that is to be lonely with someone sitting in the same room as you.
today i live alone, but i am not lonely
glad you are back with us ((((HUGS))))
It sounds like you have a great new place to live in! The good thing about moving is you get to give everything a really good clean as you're putting it away. And you get to purge stuff you no longer need! Get family & friends to help you so you don't wear yourself out!
