Married twenty two years, seven of them like this, and never posted before
Looking for one person for the long version rather than an introduction
Twenty two years married, seven of them like this, and this is the first time I have written one of these. Both men I have seen in that time came to us through people we knew, and that route has dried up, because the people we knew have moved or stopped or fallen out with each other.
Fifty one, the Westchester side. What I can tell you about the long version, since nobody ever seems to write about it, is that it becomes ordinary. The first year is enormous and the seventh is a standing arrangement that gets rescheduled around dentist appointments. That sounds like a loss and it is not. It is what something looks like once it has been absorbed into a life rather than bolted onto one.
Both arrangements lasted years. The first ended when he remarried, which we were pleased about. The second ended in the spring when he took a job abroad, and we had a dinner for him, and my husband cried in the car afterwards, which neither of us had anticipated.
So I am looking for the third. Somebody who wants to be in our lives for a long time and is not put off by how domestic that eventually looks.
Not looking for anyone who wants the first year to go on forever. Not looking for anyone who imagines a woman in her fifties is easily impressed. Not looking to rush, having done this twice and knowing how long the good version takes to build.
Before the first drink Replying goes through the connected platform, so nothing about you is shared until you decide to share it. Take contact slowly and keep identifying details back until trust is earned. Meet somewhere public the first time, with your own way home from it, and if you are a couple then go together. Tell someone outside it where you are going. Never send money to someone you have not met. And if a post or a reply reads wrong, flag it rather than talking yourself out of the feeling.
