Long Term vs Short Term....
I have been divorced 4 years now.... (2nd time around) My children are grown... and its just ME ! I get lonely now and then, but for the most part I am quite content, and am definatley not on a mission to find that 'special' one who , when we get together , will live happily ever after..... I often find myself studying alot of 'couples' (okay, I am not really CREEPY)... and really I don't think there are that many people in long term relationships that are truly happy.....
I see alot of couples who 'abuse' each other.... mentally , I mean.. things I would never put up with.... Now my question is..... Am I way into ME.???.. or have I just given up ???.... after all, here I am... almost middle aged
and I have not yet found someone , let alone set my eyes on someone...who I would just have to have !!! Maybe I am just being tooooooooo fussy.............
... I think short term ... adn I do mean ..SHORT term relationships might be the way to go.... maybe its a commitment thing.... ???

Thanks for sharing , it gives me hope, and I am willing to give all, but I am not sure, or maybe still not ready, to give all only to have my heart ripped out again... When I married the second time... it was not , and I guess I know it now... (alittle late), but I had just 'settled' , well, the marriage lasted 17 years, however after the first few years, I knew I did the wrong thing... and I did give all to try make things work... and towards the end... well, I COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE .... so I made the decsion to divorce.... with no regrets...as I have learned alot..
All I know is I don't mind being alone for now, and I guess I am looking for a friend/companion more than anything... and thats another trouble... it is really hard to find a man who is willing to just be friends for now...
