I hear you but bouncing when you're 57 is a whole different ballgame to getting over it when you're 37.

At 37, you can say you realize you were on the wrong track, you made mistakes, misunderstood intentions but you can turn this around and put all this behind you.

At 57, there are a lot of other factors now in play and truths to be faced.
It's got to have a much bigger psychological impact.

I'm not sure where the age of 37 comes into it.

On the 'widows' thread, there are people of the OP's age who have lost long-term partners, sometimes with no warning.
Now that's heartbreaking - and heartbreaking to read.

I really think the OP has built this up into something that it isn't and never was.

Sometimes the heart overrules the head. Mature people can still have a young heart you know.

I admit letting go can be very, very painful. You can still move on with your life and feel love for a person.

Making the best of what youve got. Yes.

I know somebody who was having problems psychologically getting over a long term relationship. In the end she wrote his name on a piece of paper, dug a hole in the garden, buried it and laid a flower on top of it as if it were a burial. Somehow that gave her a feeling of closure. Maybe you should try that if it's likely to help you to move on and accept that the relationship is now completely over.
