I feel exactly the same - I have been married for 19 years but currently going through a divorce.  I don't want to live with a guy again, nor get married.  I would like a relationship, but not looking to meet a new husband or anything.  I like my life how it is, and feel I wouldn't want to involve a guy in every aspect of my life...

I just thinking being 'set in your ways' is a life half lived. There are lots of wonderful experiences ahead of us, no matter what age, and to close yourself off to new possibilities seems wrong to me.

At 28 I thought I had my life planned out (husband, kids, own home etc) at 30 I thought I had settled on a new path (single, living alone, no kids) and just three years later I have changed my mind again. I know what I want out of life right now, but am open to changing my mind again should things change - that's part of the fun of living.

My mum for example swore she would never marry again after nine years being single, but all that changed when she met my step dad. They got married when she was 40ish and have been together 10 years now. I know she is glad she let her mind be changed!

In Response to Re: When you're very happy with the way things are :  Neither would I get married again and any guy who came on the scene would be made aware  of my feelings from the  outset.  I'm just so set in my ways now, having been on my own for over 7 years, I know so much more about what I want from life.   I know the adage .. never say never ... which I won't but as time marches on, you just get more and more set in your ways.   Jx

This is how I feel.

Since I left the family home in 1988, I've always lived on my own.  In my 20's & 30's, I hated it as I was so lonely.  However, I made a life for myself, as with my outlook on life then, it was highly unlikely that anyone would want to share a lfie with the miserable/clingy/needy cow I was then.

When ex-Mr Sav and I broke-up, I thought I'd go back to those dark days of feeling sorry for myself and how life isn't fair.  I haven't felt like that.  I've re-connected with some old friends, and I'm actively making time to keep in touch with all my friends, and accepting invitations that come my way, rather than staying at home moping.

Whatever I do in my life, I always need a 'get out' clause if things don't work out, so IF I were to live with someone, there is no way I would give up my home..... just in case.

Your opinion of me is irrelevant and unimportant.
