me neither,once bitten twice shy

sadly in this country, if you live together, you never have the same rights as people who are married, especially if one partner dies. in 2008, there still is so much unfairness displayed towards couples who decide to live together.

i would no , iv never marred and never lived with a woman how sad that maby one day if i can find somone

silverfox, i know a man, who never married or had children and found a lovely lady in his 50s, she had two grown up daughters, they are happy and together, now. dont give up.

aww thankyou i wont give up , suppos to meet few women but they never turned up iv spent lot of money travling but given up lol

oh that is worse than despicable to not turn up - everybody has mobiles at least nowadays - the least they could do is phone you

I would never marry again. After such a volotile marriage I had, I don't think I would ever live with anyone either.

I made such a bad judgement on my last partner (ex hubby) I don't think I could trust my judgement again. I have 3 kids and is no way I will ever subject them to that kind of enviroment again. I was a crap mum back then for letting them even hear the slightest slap thier mom received. Least I can do now is make sure the rest of thier childhood is happy!!

I am just greatful that the chap I am in touch with right now for over a yr and have met and am due to meet again in matter of days, totally understands me, my views and feelings!

aww that must have been a night mere for you ,i wish you well with your new man in your life

Thank you. I was not looking for sympathy, if anything living through what I did, has made me stronger and ironically enough, more confident (Obviously not at the time!) lol

And so long as this chap doesn't want anything more from me than the odd meeting and dinner and...... lol And does not want to get too serious with me, everything will be just great between us!

I wish you lots of luck in your quest for happiness too.

Jo

thankyou i will try lol

Out of bad experiences comes strength. Trust your instinct which is even stronger now. You'll be able to read people better having been through that ugly experience. You also have more confidence than before, so you'll put up with less crap from men. giggle.

I so much agree

once you come through the immediacy of it all, its amazing how much stronger you become and grow into a person in your own worth

I met my wife at school and we married at 23 and had 2 wonderful kids and were blissfully happy but sadly in 1998 she was diagnosed with cancer and she died in my arms just a few months later. 10 years on and I would marry tomorrow but finding a women who is interested in me as a person and not what I have (which is nothing , except my sanity) is proving impossible.
