本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I’m a woman, 53, who divorced seven years ago. I’d married young, my children are now married. My husband was my senior high school sweetheart and remained that same good guy with the same interests until we split.

But I’d grown much more independent, interested in books, music, etc.

Once separated, I moved to the city where my children live, made new friends and built the life I now love.

I work in a doctors’ clinic, volunteer at a food bank and sing in a choir.

I take my grandchildren to activities and special events. I babysit occasionally. My children understand that I need my own social life.

The only thing “missing” is a male companion. I’ve had dates but not met anyone I’d want to see at breakfast.

I know there are many women also leading active and satisfying lives, yet from what I hear, see and read, a lot still feel “unfulfilled” if they don’t have a man by their side.

I’m happy and fulfilled. I have love in my life through my children and grandchildren.

Sex would be a bonus, but unless it’s with a person who’d bring so much else to my life, I feel it’s not worth the hassles I hear from other women, such as men with difficult adult children, financial differences that cause issues, serial cheaters . . . etc.

Am I really missing anything by not even trying to meet someone who’d be a partner?更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
