My first husband turned into a self absorbed alcoholic who I stayed married to far too long. Sadly my second husband and I didn’t get the lovely retirement we planned together as he became ill on his retirement and recently died. Seems I’m destined to grow old alone ?

Sitting here chatting to my MIL who has just said that there have been 4 things in her life that didn't go how she wanted ,amongst the 4 was a boyfriend she "really liked" dumping her when she was 17 and the sale of a house she wanted falling through .I said I think if thats all thats gone wrong in her life then she is a very lucky woman .
Over to you ladies,how HAS it been for you? Have you lived a charmed life or have you had misfortune and difficulties thrown at you?
Been a bit of a mixed bag for us with some real horrors over the years ,some I wouldn't wish on anyone ...even my worst enemy .
