I agree with you 100%. My first marriage was horrible! I put up with alot of crap including verbal & emotional abuse. I stayed in that for 26 years - and I THOUGHT it was good, for the sake of the kids. I later found out that they wished I had left the bum. 
I remarried a wonderful man, but we only had a very few years together as he died of cancer. Several years after he died, I dated a little, but found that I just didn't like dating - seems that the guys I dated were only interested in one thing.
I'm very happy to be alone now. Like you I've found a very special kind of "peace" where I can be who I like - I don't have to accomodate anyone else (yes, it's selfish, but at MY age I don't care  ). I don't have to worry about someone else's moods but my own; I can eat what I want and WHEN I want -- and I can think about my deceased hubby and smile without someone asking me what I'm thinking about. 
I'll never date again or marry again. I love being alone. Thanks Seeker for a good post God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
