I've been married, polyamorous and ENM for several years now. I have had partners for a lot of that time.
The pandemic, or rather, responses to it, separated me from partners that have since lost interest in polyamory, me, or have passed away.
I have one partner now that lives a few hours away, in another country. She is a cancer survivor and most of the time we've spent together had been focused on her health and dealing with the emotional and physical fallout from radiation and chemotherapy. As might be expected, she is reclaiming her life and adding to her polycule in her hometown. I am very happy that I was able to help with that. We see each other every few weeks, and that's great.
I'd like to find a partner closer to me. This was not difficult to do before the pandemic, and before I was in my 60s. I'm wondering if my age and marital status might make me less appealing to potential partners. Perhaps the world is just that different post-pandemic. I'd be happy to find someone just to go social dancing with and have dinner with, maybe once a week.
Any thoughts? I'm just trying to understand why this has been more difficult.
