Now what do I do?

I’m 56 years old, divorced for 5 years and just out of a 2.5 year relationship. I can retire in December and can afford roughly the same lifestyle in retirement. I still have a daughter living at home and going into her last year of college. I really don’t know what my life can look like it as a single person because I haven’t spent enough time being single. My friends are scattered throughout the country or have younger children or are married. I guess I am looking for ideas on meeting people. People not men. It can’t happen for a while cause we are on lockdown.

My New Beginning is Over

2.5 years ago, I met the sweetest, kindest man. We had a good relationship until his ex decided that she wants him back. Apparently she has cancer and doesn’t want to die alone. He has never figured out how to have relationships with his adult children. She wants to be a family again. He feels guilty and has a sense of displaced loyalty. We ended things. I Was very stoic but am so hurt. He told his sister that he never deserved me ( I am in better shape financially and health wise). Perhaps I dodged a bullet or maybe it hurts so bad because it grazed me. We are in lockdown here and I am going to be lonely.
