I was 63 years old and had been widowed 7 years when I met my partner, Paul. We met at a Christmas party hosted by mutual friends.

We’ve all had bad dates. Dates where the date drones on and on and on, never pausing for a breath or to ask you a question. Dates where your date spends more time looking at other women than you. Dates where the person is pushy, inappropriate, or someone you just aren’t attracted to.

Ten years ago, I thought my life was pretty good. I had a career that I enjoyed in marketing. I had been with my partner for 17 years, and if the relationship wasn’t perfect, I had something that I thought was more important than perfect, commitment.
