    Im sorry to hear you have experienced this @madchris55

    In my eyes it shows how shallow some people are .

    They have no respect .

    They are very selfish by the sounds of things

    Sorry to hear you have had such awful experiences

    Sorry i know i said i may not talk

    Sorry

    I have never imagined a person is 'selfish', just because they didn't want a relationship with me. Acceptance of my physical disability didn't happen overnight, but I got there none the less.

    A woman doesn't owe me her love, and to me, the physical side of things is just something other people engage in.

    Life can be challenging, I won't disagree, but we can't do much about human nature.

    A person i know, who is the same age as me, he met someone last summer and recently they moved in together.

    Dare I say it, that a divorcee of middle age is likely looking for romance, foreign travel, excitement; not some guy (me) in supermarket trackies, sat in a wheelchair, and living on state benefits.

    I won't say we can't ever meet anyone, but it is certainly reduced odds. I have chosen not to dwell on it, and just get on with my simple, uneventful life as best as I can.
