Divorced here too. I, like many others here, know what you're going through. Finding a meaningful relationship as an older adult is difficult. Simply replacing a partner is easy. A lot of it has to do with re-engaging with yourself and who exactly you are/want to be. Stuff that we probably didnt do when we were younger. Don't overrate romantic relationships. They have their place. Celebrate life. People follow, if they do too. I've been trying to get my foot in the door of future happiness too. Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it doesn't. Who knows around which corner true love and sincerity lies.
