My name is Lily, and I am 41 years old. Recently, my husband left me after 20 years of marriage, and I had no idea how to proceed. I married early in my life, so I didn’t have much experience meeting new people.
I couldn’t make new friends, and finding love in your forties is hard. So, I shut myself off and rarely left the house.
In desperation, I registered on a dating site and started chatting with a handsome man from Mexico named Juan. He was so confident and gallant I couldn’t believe it was real. Very soon, our online flirtation was turning into something more.
Things developed quickly, and he began inviting me to visit him in Mexico. At first, I hesitated. What if he wasn’t who he seemed to be? What if I was just setting myself up for more heartbreak?
