I was in a 19 year marriage, always faithful while I lived with him. Now I find that after two nonserious relationships, that I don't know that I ever want anything more than a boyfriend. I feel better when I am not in a relationship, I accomplish my goals, I am less stressed. I don't want to have a relationship just so I don't get lonely now or when I am old. I have never felt this way before, I'm not sure what to think of it. |

You don't have to be defined as a person by having a man in your life. If you are feeling better being alone, then go for it! The sky is the limit. You only have yourself to think about and do for. And why not? Don't you deserve your own love and care??? Of course you do! Relax, enjoy your "ME" time. Go out when you want with whomever you want. No need to have a serious relationship as long as you are happy with yourself and your situation. You obviously have the strength to stand on your own and that is a GOOD thing!
I wish you much happiness! Hugssssss Jean |

because i've been divorced almost 17 years and i've managed to have a pretty full life without a fulltime man......i don't mind being alone and i love to travel by myself.
i read a lot, have animals, make jewelry, do photography, have a job and just generally like living alone. i date but we're far enough apart that we're never in each other's face.....for more than two or three days. and that's like maybe once a month.....and i really like that........he's just like me, so no one ever gets upset if one of us doesn't want to visit..... i just really like my independence. for dinner i am having a black bean enchilada with green chile sauce and a big fried egg on top. i might not be able to float that past a husband.

Hi there, Blitz -- I was alone for 12 years between relationships, then I was chucked out after 15-years with a man -- at a time in life when chances are slim that I'll have another.
I look around at the men my age and they look like geezers. Quite a lot of them are so needy. They can barely do the wash on their own. I'm reasonably content on my own, certainly more content than having some albatross geezer whining around me for sex and to cook his meals, etc. Yes, I'd love to be in love. When I'm ready, I'm may go shopping for some, but I'm not ready just now. Enjoy your freedom from needing a man.
