What's wrong with being alone and being totally happy? I'm a 65 year old woman. I've been divorced since '78. Raised my two sons by myself. I accomplished more things in my life after I got rid of my cheating husband, than I'd ever have done if he was still around. I've been retired for almost 10 years, and love my privacy and solitude. I do what I want, when I want, and don't have to listen to anybody's whining. I've always said I'd rather live alone and be happy, than live with someone and be totally miserable.
Concur. Paid through the nose to get rid of my first husband. (He dumped me, tried to get me, the kids, and the dog tossed out on the street—I ended up borrowing $15K to complete the divorce he decided that he didn’t want after all.) Now happily married for 22 years, but would not take the risk again for anything in the world if, God forbid, something happens to my precious soulmate.
Whiskey Tango Halifax do men think they are the only ones who suffer financially post divorce?
I don't want to get too nosy here but how did you handle the lack of physical intimacy/sex all those years??? You were divorced young based upon my simple math. I'm 27, male and maybe I look at things differently...but serious question.
I need regular sex of course but also love nothing more than spooning in bed on a lazy, rainy day watching a good movie with my gf...which is just as good as sex to me...or her coming up behind me and just giving me a long deep hug..
I don't understand the wanting to be celibate and lack of physical affection.
