I've been single since my divorce 24 years ago. At the moment i am happy being my super single self. I feel i was never meant to be married. I don't want that level of interdependence with anyone. I have a very soft inner voice and if someone else is around all the time i can't hear it.

But there are times when i want a partner. I felt safer when i was with my ex. I think it's just a part of being a single woman -- the feeling of being vulnerable.
