Missing the Bus

By Omay "Onigiri" Rubio

Dating and encouragement advice for single women over 40's and 50's who were dealing with the ups and downs on Dating.

At 44, I was in a "happy" relationship, engaged to a person that I thought he was The One in my life. At 45, my dreams of marriage and a family came crashing down in a worst way possible when my now ex-fiancee has a double life and a daunting secret. At 46, I tried to move on, but also failed to get other things. Now in 2023 I'm giving advice where ever I can find on my stories and every women's stories for as a cautionary tale for young women as well.
