Hi just to introduce myself I am looking for a relationship based on mutual respect and hope to meet someone genuine. I am looking for someone from the West of Ireland who is between 46 and 56. He could be a widower or single. I go to church regularly and prayer groups. I have never been married but I have had a close relationship which didn't work out due to drink. He is married to someone else now and good luck to both of them. She was more used to drink problems than I was so I was happy to let him go and I now live with my mother and am happy there. I don't like dealing with someone who cannot stop drinking and this is stating the obvious I guess no one really like having to deal with this in a partner it is so embarrassing and depressing. Neither of my parents had a drink problem and I really have no experience in successfully living with someone who has that problem.
I have a poetic nature and write poetry sometimes. I have won an award for poetry in 2001 and it is time I wrote some more poetry but I can't seem to get down to it. Maybe a good partner could help me and give me ideas as what to write about. Maybe he could be my muse!
I also love music and play the tin whistle. I would love to learn the piano but we don't have one. I used to play the organ in the village church and love music of all types. I love mellow funky sounds. I love Neil Diamond and Midge Ure.
