15 single and I do not plan to ever change that status. I must admit though that it took a while to adjust after marriage because you can't really do the same stuff you did when you were 20 anymore, but then on the flipside, you can do other stuff that you couldn't do at 20 that you can do now wink laugh

It took awhile to adjust for sure. At first I didnt know myself let alone what I wanted for dinner. Prior to that I was always Mom and Wife etc. I could take great care of everyone else but I had to learn how to care of myself. But Im so grateful for this period in my life however long the ride lasts. I really love my life (and myself) now. wine

It will get better. You are still in what I would call the grieving stage. Even though you are not a widower. It had to be like watching your dreams diecomfort I never realized how much my future dreams were of me and my husband till he passed. It was always his hand I dreamed of holding as I grew older in life. Now I hold a lap top dunno But I have learned to laugh again. And you will too. To really laugh. cheers

Listen Jest...right now its not...but it wont stay that way if you stop focusing on "The single life" and start focusing on YOUR life. What your doing is hurting yourself over something your not ready for yet anyway. hug

I find it for myself a quite interesting experience being really single. That allows to take care only of myself (and my daughter) without being bored by outside "controls". This is freedom. laugh
But yes, sometimes, a true caring and loving lady is a lack.
Sometimes only. grin
