By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

If he was totally satisfied and really loved you, he wouldn't be looking somewhere else. At our age time goes by faster and faster. You really shouldn't be wasting that time. We aren't teenagers anymore. Hopefully, you r not living together. If so, think about getting separate places. You need to get involved in other things and friends. If he asks to go out to dinner, OK, but until there is some kind of committment you can date and see other people.
You know that no new relationship can replace a 37 year marriage. It will be very different, and this is part of the difference. A very generous woman who had just been painfully dumped, recently posted “It doesn't mean they don't care, and maybe not every one we meet has to understand everything in order to add value to our lives? And maybe us to theirs?”.
If this relationship doesn’t survive for you, I hope that your hurt won’t stop you from looking again. If you can both cope with the differences, it can be so much better than being lonely.
Yours in sisterhood
I don't think too many people can handle rejections well. If you can just flick off rejections like a fly, then you most likely didn't care much for the person who rejected you.
For example, if some random person passes you on the street and tells you he doesn't like you, you probably couldn't care less. That's because that person is insignificant and unimportant to you. He has no place in your life. He doesn't mean anything to you.
But since you care a great deal for your boyfriend, he holds a significant spot in your life and your heart. And that's the very reason why when he rejects you, it hurts so much.
In order for you to get over the rejection, you have to go through the process in reverse. You have to get him from a place of significance and importance to a place of irrelevance.
How to do that is a long process for a lot of people. You will have to find other things to do to replace the time and attention that used to be devoted to him. Chat with friends, go out with friends, join a group, join a class, date someone else, pick up a new hobby, start a project, watch movies, read books, write journal, volunteer, etc.. Eventually, you will think of him less and less.
Most people will advise to not date again so soon after a breakup, but the truth is the quickest way to get over someone is to date someone else.
Also, very important, do not ever allow his rejection to make you think less of yourself. Good luck. And I am really sorry that you're hurting.
Blokes of this age can get very interested in sex. Their bodies are changing, their time for experimenting is running out, and they wonder what they are missing. I have at times reminded mine about just what he is and isn’t missing! If your friend is actively looking for other women, after a few weeks, then it is rejection and it is as hard as rejection always is. You need to tell him how you feel about it, so that he does get a chance to make a real choice. It is a pity to wait until you are so fed up that you have cut the emotional tie, before he knows that it is on the line. Look after your heart. xxx
