I met a woman. This is an oddity as I've been mentally and emotionally stunted for the last 2 years since my ex and I split. I met her at the hospital... In recovery... After my mom had surgery. She was the recovery nurse and we sat for 2 hours while my mom slept and we talked of Poe and our kids and absurdist existentialist erotica. I melted. We did the Facebook exchange and have continued contact, but she was, and still is, seeing someone. So it has gone nowhere beyond a conversation that has me smiling every time it reengages. This was the most intimate interaction I've had with another person in a long time and it will go down as one of the all time winderous of my life.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Amazingly, this is the 68th year of my having met a "girl," in 1950, with whom we share a friendship. Has never moved toward a sexual relationship, but is one that is extremely important to both of us. I am not certain as to if i believe in soul mates, or not...lost my wife of 53 years, 12 years ago, and tho it was a great marriage, we were never soul mates in that sense...we remained as two individuals, tho to this day, these years after her death, I am still "emotionally," married...maybe that is what they mean ?

I am invoking the "no soul mate" rule. What you have proven to yourself is that you can connect with someone. Go out and do it again, and again, and don't worry about where it goes.

It's wonderful you had that experience! Even if she's involved with someone else romantically there is a lot of value in intimate relationships that are not romantic or physical ones. I think it's often overlooked and we miss out on a lot until we can learn to recognize and appreciate it.

Is she willing to share herself with more than one man? Is her current beau willing to share her? Not all relationships have to be monogamous. Ethical polyamory is a current alternative to monogamy being explored by numerous folks. If all are consenting & truthful, or ethical, what is the problem if it works? You might approach her on this & see what happens. She may end up "seeing" more than one person on an open & ethical manner.

This came up as a topic, but she's not there. Not something she feels she could handle exploring.
Wonderful. I'm really pleased for you. It sounds like you are now winning / have won and will have at least not only a beautiful memory but also the knowledge that not only have you still got hope but in part the world has the answer to your hope. Some of my memorable incidents have included being the fulcrum or catalyst in moving women to return to former lovers, start over and be enabled to find lasting love or simply go into the equivalent of a nunnery. As always I hope that you are granted the Companions of Health, Peace and Fulfilment to travel with you throughout your life.

You never know what will happen. But you made a connection with another human. That’s amazing.

Posted by JolantaThis is what women have to put up with and then they want to be intimate while we are still angry because they will not do their share of housework.
