What is the first thing you say each morning? “Thank you for the tea” “Open the curtains” “No, close them! The light's too bright!”
One of my friends at TT college shared cultural interests with a male friend going together to classical concerts but she married a man from her shared geographic, cultural and ethnic background. A nice man, but without her interests and values. A couple of years later with two small children she sighed that she was often lonely but never alone. They divorced.
I’ve been married to men with values and interests similar to mine, men who paid attention to my interests and supported my ambitions. But now they’ve died.My first words now in the morning are “Alexa, play the radio”.
Lonely and alone.
