Fun or Long-Term (27)
I'm not sure. As you said, I'm not looking for a "father figure" for my daughter, because she's grown. It'd be nice to have someone, I'm feeling more & more lately. Not that I don't have friends... I've got plenty of things to do. It's just that it's been 3 years since my last relationship & I think I'm soon ready for a new one.

My kids are almost out of the nest. And I'm ready for the next chapter of my life, so to speak. I've devoted my life to putting my kids first and foremost above my singleness after the divorce. I've had one short term relationship in 13yrs. But that was because he was a scammer. I'd like to think and still have the hope that I will be able to find love again...........if not, I've been one blessed lady anyway.

My kids left the nest a few years ago. And now it is time for me to have the fun which I have been doing. I do not need a man to make me complete as many other women have said. I simple want the one that connects with me on all levels. Is that to much to ask for?

I've had my share of short, fun relationships in my life as well as more than my share of short, miserable marriages. I would like to find a long term relationship with someone who really loves me for me, and who I feel the same way about. I had that, but it turned out to be all too short a time before he died. I'd love to find it again, and have it last a lot longer.

Thanks for the replies folks, but nobody has really responded as I expected.
Firstly, I´m not pondering whether fun or long term is the best alernative. We are all at different points in our lives, thus have different needs. Neither of these lifestyle choices is under debate.
My question was about how we have lived our lives, i.e. married, with kids etc...and how this affects what we ultimately yearn for, or feel is the accepted option in later life when a long-term relationship/marriage breaks down.
My views seem to differ with my RL friends, older and younger who have not had a long marriage or children like me.

hmmmm...i guess i cant add much then
havent had the experience of a long marriage
but i have learned what i wanted by a stoopid backwards process of elimination
i learned what i did not want
then waited and watched for years
and finally found somethin that seems a lovely fit
i did learn that im a good waiter

I mean those of us who have been in long-term relationships, marriages, whatever. However, young uns please contribute!
Personally, after a long marriage I am enjoying more and more the single life, but I still feel there is somethimg missing. This does not seem to be the case for friends of mine, younger and older, who remain single, but interestingly have never been married, or in a long( I mean LONG) relationship, and who have never had kids.
I have no agenda in so far as providing a father figure for my kids, they have long since flown the nest, and I have never been of that mindset that children need both a father and mother rile model in order to survive, so that brings me closer to these friends of mine without kids.
I really don´t know if it´s down to conditioning, i.e. men and women need a significant other, or because I was with the same man from the age of 16 to 43 years old.
I have more than made up for the lack of experience however since my divorce!
Sometimes I think I want somebody in my life, a monogamous relationship. but only if we can be together for the weekends!
