I was married 27 years. We gave it a shot. 
I moved to the boondocks when we divorced and sold the home. Spectacular location. Friends I though would flock here didn't. So I gave away guest accommodation stuff. Lately, more. "New" friends are 50 miles away. Same deal. Presence is everything.
Senior center is 12 miles away. All redneck married ppl. Our district got redder to make more districts blue.
I do plan to move. Lived near one shore or another all but these 10 years. I will be present. It's still a world of people. Everywhere but here. 
Too bad. It's so scenic. People count more (and stores and services )
4 DU members left town. Two families moved. One friend has work elsewhere and is never around. I used to bum rides from him!
I posted some possible ways to help seniors. I'll give the ideas away to younger people.
