Sienne: That is dead on! When my last long-term relationship (7+ years) ended so badly, I had to pick myself up from rock bottom in two stages.

First, I had to realize that I had a RIGHT to be happy with myself and with my life again; if I let the ex diminish my happiness in any way, then I was still allowing him to affect me negatively.

Second, I had to choose to trust other men; if I let the fears and trust issues caused by the ex get in the way of having any other relationships, then I was still allowing him to affect my life negatively.

Either way, I was not about to let the ex have any more say-so over MY life. That's when I realized that the ultimate victory was to be perfectly content in my life, with or without a man. Granted, I would still like to meet a quality man for a long-term relationship; I would still like to unleash all the love I have left to give, but until the situation is right, I will continue being as happy and as active as I normally am. so yeah, my life is very, very good. Point for me, zero for the ex.





Good post.................hug

Dont_Look_Now: Perfectly happy and content by myself. It took me a long time to get to this place in my life but I am proud to say I am here, despite all of the obstacles I and my little family have had to endure and go through to get here...we are happy and at peace for once.

It will take a very special man to change that for he would have to be able to "slip into my life" with out upheaving it...

I do, however, know for a fact that God has someone out there for me and when the time is right, we will meet (if we have not already and He is just getting a good laugh out of this, lol...God has a wicked sense of humor, you know, lol)...so to all of our futures whatever they may hold

Love to you all!




Good for you girl.......nice post.....teddybear teddybear

RillyNiceGuy: Happyness shared is multiplied, sadness shared is divided!

You never know what life brings and a good spouse is nice to have in both cases.




Happyness............looks ok to me.....laugh

classicrockgirl: Am at the point where I don't need or particularly want someone in my life full time. I enjoy my freedom. Kids are finally grown and I can come and go as I please. But if I did meet someone and we really clicked and got along with no drama or roller coaster rides would definitely make room.




No drama or rollercoasters......I can live with that....laugh wave

I am perfectly happy living by myself. Didn't have to reach that point, after spending my entire first 50 years living with someone, I loved it immediately!

That is not to say that if someone I could stand being around on a continuous basis came along I couldn't enjoy it, but I'm not looking for it. I don't need someone around all the time. I like taking care of myself, and just myself. I will never go back to the days of someone else's needs and wants taking precedence over mine.

I'm quite happy and comfortable with me. There are times that I miss having a man around, but it's no longer a need or neccessity in my life today.

It's funny how things change and our perceptions change over time. I once asked someone..."Is it that you want me in your life or is it that you need me in your life?" They said "Wanting and needing are the same thing." I chose to walk away from them.
