Multiple sentences out loud.
But since I think I shouldn’t do it, I’m not totally crazy...yet.
Fast forward to now: Married once which was over pretty much before the rice hit the ground. Out of that though, we had a beautiful baby boy. We divorced and I went on to purchasing a new home (a matchbox compared to today's homes) and raising my son. Never remarried and never had the inclination to.
I worked hard. I was hired in upper management and made good money. Paid the house off and now am retired. I do not regret being alone. It's all I know. Those who question it are the ones that are uncomfortable with being alone. I've never had a problem with it.
Yes. Unless you are a Mormon. Or any other religious group and you are devout. Then it may work better because you two will take your vows seriously.
Otherwise, you guys are roommates for a couple of years.
Thank you so much for your post.
Arrestor cable!
I can watch videos all day long on aircraft taking off at sea. Never knew what to call the cable or entirely how it worked. I can now search it out thanks to the post you made.
Your narrative fascinates me!

I kind of like that. I’ve hurt so badly at losing some of my loved ones; I don’t want to be the cause of people feeling like that.
And there are some great people in Heaven.
I lived alone for over 10 years. My elderly mother lives with me now, but I never had a problem living alone. It depends on your personality and interests.
I talk to my dog. He pretends he can’t understand me, but I know he can.
Excellent anecdotes .. thanks !
$550 per month? Astounds me.
1100 sqft house I bought 30 years ago... Should be paid off by now but due to an ex who signed my name better than I do, remortgaged it a few times and since a divorce 13 years ago I consolidated everything and have about 4 years and it’s mine... I’ll spare you the rest of the drama!!
Does he do the “dog head twist stare” on you?
As long as you’re happy, everything is fine.
I get along just fine with myself.
:)
Not so much that but when I say anything he wants like “outside” or “dinner” or “treat” then he damn sure understands.
So dogs are like us. We have selective hearing when women talk.
You're OK as long as it doesn't degenerate into a fistfight.
I’m in the clear…for now…
Not only are you your own best company, if you argue with yourself, it’s a win-win.
