I decided the day I asked for a divorce that I would never marry again. What is the point in marrying after you've already raised your family? Why deal with all the financial crap, community property, etc.? Besides, I've been divorced twice. Obviously, I didn't follow through on those vows the first two times, why in the world would anybody, including myself, believe that I would keep those vows a third time? Yes, I want a long term, steady partner. No, I don't want to have to jump through a million legal hoops, pay attorneys a bunch of money and end up broke when I want to leave him. And no, I can't engage in physical intimacy without emotional intimacy. Those are my life choices. If there is a "Mr. Right" in this world for me, then he will accept that. If not, then so be it. It may very well be the reason that Hockey Dad left. I know it's the reason that at least two other relationships didn't work out and that's fine with me if that's the case. I do know that I cannot and will not promise "til death do us part" when I don't mean it.
I've said it a million times before.. I'd rather be alone than be with the wrong person. I'm fine with being alone and I'd be fine if I found someone who thinks like I do. Either way, it's fine. It doesn't mean I'll stop looking around to see if that person exists, but it doesn't mean I'll sit around and mope if he doesn't. You seem more upset at the idea of me being alone than I am..lol.
