:) Reminds me of something I saw in a movie or something, and the guy says he was married nine times but was unable to have children. "Just my luck -- married to nine barren women!"
The pot calling the kettle black is my middle name. If I have a problem it's always someone's/something else's fault. I'm also immature and women want mature guys.

Of course you're immature, you're male! What you mean is women want guys with money. That's how they measure maturity. Mick Jagger's ex Jerri Hall recently married 147 yr old Rupert Murdock. Doesn't she look happy? $$$$$!!!!!

Does he think she was lookin' at him & thinking, "I gotta have me some of that!" No! Is he mature? He's senile! He probably plays with toy boats in the tub. Cranky, you have to bring up your game. You have to pimp harder! Dating younger & dumber might be your best option. It's certainly worked for me in the past. This video explains it better than I can. Totally genius.

Being single over t
I really enjoyed being single after divorce. It was freedom to me. I met someone and we spend time together. This is good for me, as sometimes I just want to do my own thing.

Same here Arista. My divorce was to basically tie off a really bad situation, it wasn't because I wanted to get divorced by any means. Having invested 21 years in my marriage, it was the last thing I wanted to do. It was important to have some closure for my son and I, but I never, EVER wanted to be single after being married. It was a very large blow to my sense of reality even though I knew it had to be done for my son's safety. I was very used to being married and being single after two decades just feels.......strange, for lack of a better word although that doesn't adequately describe it by any means. All I had ever wanted was to have someone to spend the rest of my life with and even knowing that was over, walking around my house, staring at the walls, nothing seemed right any longer. Everything seems left of center, slightly out of focus. I think I forgot how to be single during those years, I really do. I can manage, as I've been doing for a long time now, but having a girlfriend now makes things much clearer for me than they've been for a long, long time. I have someone to focus on again, other than my son I mean. I tend to kind of self destruct mentally if I don't have a lot of my time taken up and have things to focus on doing. "Better working than thinking" someone once told me. I'd have to heartily agree now more than ever with that saying. All during and after my divorce, all I seemed to be able to focus on was what I did wrong, What I could have done to make her come back mentally, what didn't I do that made her become the way she was, what am I doing to my son, what's wrong with me....a really bad loop that just kept playing in my head over and over 24-7 and I couldn't do much to get it to stop. I had also allowed myself to forget how busy things can get when you're in a relationship, especially if that person has a child of her own, like my girlfriend does. But, I'll take being busy ANY DAY over how things used to be. Being busy, I can have a plan, I can be more task oriented like I like to be. I can help her out and show her how much I want to make things work between us. So overall, I don't like being single. I still like to do my own thing every now and then but I find that if I do my own thing for too long, I tend to start hearing old ghosts that won't be quiet and I don't like that.....having someone to focus my attention on gets my attention off myself and that's definitely a good thing as far as my head goes. I'm my own worst enemy mentally....

I have been drinking so...

My Philip and I were so perfect for each other. He wasn't perfect and I wasn't perfect either, but together, we were perfect. TOGETHER we were perfect. (Sorta kinda)

I survived his death because we had a child. Our son. I stayed here because. Our son .

Peace.
You survived his death because you are one tough woman. Your son is lucky to have you as his mother. WE are lucky to have you here and call you friend.

I'm horrible at being single and "picking up" women. I got zero game. I'm a total nerd. So I got married and have been for a while now. I forgot what its like to be single. Now being an awkward nerd is cool and desirable. Great.

I hate you society.

Is that cynical?
No sir, that's exactly the way I have the world figured also Hoss. Hope you are well sir.

I didn't know this Sigs, I'm sorry. Hugs to you. I'm glad your time together was happy and you produced a great son!
