I truly wonder how much of our emotional needs can be met with a romantic partner. Married a long time to someone who had no clue, I mean NO CLUE about emotional intimacy, I finally left after 20 years. Divorced 9 years now, and having dated quite a bit with several long term relationshlps, none of them were willing to create true emotional intimacy. I am thinking Wifighter is right about finding it within yourself. At age 55 now, I'm not wanting to share my space with anyone. I'm a grad student in Fine Art at a local university and currently selling my house and downsizing, planning on paying off all my bills and being solo content!
