I am 65 and my now ex husband is 71. In 2009 I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. He was with me when this happened. Exactly four months later he announced he was separating. We were divorced eight months later and he married a 40 year old woman immediately. As far as I knew we were happy. He said he wasn't happy. I never act like I've got a serious illness. I'm into to 1-3 hours a day of walking. I feel fabulous. I'm in chemo but do not let it bother me. It is the less of my worries. We live in a small town and I constantly see my ex husband and his new wife. I always smile and try to be pleasant. I do miss my ex husband but ask myself how I can when he is a slim ball for leaving me. I have no family in the area I live but do not want to sell my house and move from this beautiful place. I have tried counseling and do take a 10 mg. medication for depression. I would love to find someone to share my life with but don't know if that is possible. What kind of a woman marries a man much older man than her and knows he left his ex wife who is terminally ill? I know I will just have to do the best I can on my own.
