Dear Cary,
After I had been widowed for three years, I fell in love with a man who lives in a large city (I lived in a small town). We tried long-distance dating for two years. It was very difficult, and we came to the conclusion we wanted to be together. Since he was still working, the only way we could be together was for me to move to the city.
It was a difficult decision. I would have to leave my friends of many years to move to a major city where I didn’t know anyone. Also, he has a long commute to work and sometimes has to work late.
I moved to the city two years ago. We have a wonderful relationship, and I love the city. However, I do not have one friend. I joined a yoga class and am taking an art class. I volunteer twice a week. I’ve also tried to join a book club. I cannot find one book club in my area that has either mixed ages or women my age (I am in my mid-60s). It seems everyone in our neighborhood is between 25 and 40. Sometimes I get so lonely I just want to go to bed. I am so depressed.
We have talked about moving to a different area of the city, but right now the housing market is so depressed. I dread the onset of winter when I am even more isolated. I am happy on the weekends but then Monday rolls around. Cary, I feel like I am losing my mind. How do I pull myself out of this?
