My wife left me today. The loneliness is unbearable. My chest hurts and I can't breathe or sleep. The thing is, she tortured me with emotional abuse. She put everything ahead of me and made me miserable. But, like the heartbreaking experiment where baby monkeys were separated from their mothers and exposed to wire/cloth monkeys, she was better than nothing, better than being alone. No, it will not get better with time...I am a senior and have no hope for anyone new in my life. I want my cloth surrogate wife back, just someone to be here with me.
