📌 MY STORY:
After my wife Margaret passed at 59, I rebuilt my life alone. I found peace, routine, and contentment. But everyone around me said I needed someone—my daughter, my friends, everyone. So at 62, I tried online dating and met Linda.
What started as companionship quickly became constant texts, phone calls, weekend obligations, and financial strain. I felt lonelier with her than I ever did alone. At 62, I learned a hard lesson: being in a relationship doesn't cure loneliness—sometimes it creates it.
Now at 75, after 13 years of living alone again, I'm the happiest I've been. This video is for anyone feeling pressured to date, anyone in a draining relationship, or anyone who's found peace in solitude.
