Is this okay??? I've reached this point where I don't want it any more! I marvel at this mindset I have now, regarding men, and yet I don't want to extend even my little finger in that direction now! I do realize that much of this attitude has to do with the disastrous attempts I've made since my divorce 11 years ago. I honestly, naively thought I'd find happiness with a partner after being married unhappily for 20 years, and plunged into it with my all, only to be deeply hurt and disappointed. Now...honestly, the thought of extending affection, and horrified at the thought of sexual intimacy, being vulnerable, seems out of the question for me forever hereafter! Also, and this is bad to admit, but at age 56, when I pass men my age or a little older in my comings and goings, I kinda say "yuck!" to myself~! Who wants to be with THAT! Bad to admit, I know! (and I'm sure they think the same of me! )
Is is so bad to just be lazily content alone?
