Just reading all this makes me even more confident I made the right choice to never get married again.
oh i just sooooooooo disagree HG!
It is so awesome to have a partner in life, one that is really there for you when you need it and even if you don't need it, willing to share everything with you....the promotion, the being fired....the ups and downs.....the sickness and in health....
Yes, it takes a special person, your soul mate....and the Lord knows I had my share of not being with the right person, but when you find it....there is nothing better in the world, imho!
It's good to reach a resolve that you do not 'need' someone else in your life...to be self sufficient in all....especially after a divorce....and just when you can accept your own singlehood and be happy with it.....ZAP! Cupid's arrow....and hopefully, this time around....you will quickly KNOW from experience, if this new love is your soulmate or not....!
Never say never dear....there is a soulmate out there for ya, I'd bet my bottom dollar on it!
