Put your husband first in this and move forward with your life. Perhaps look at it this way, you are still very young, you have the probability of living to be well into your 80s and you could make a whole new life in that time.

There are so many good posts on here. Lots of wisdom and heartfelt honesty. Exactly what The Villages is all about - people helping people and caring about one another as we all enter into a new and unfamiliar stage in our lives. Not that one cannot find this elsewhere, but in TV one finds it in abundance.
