I didn't want to keep hijacking Lexxxy's thread, so let me answer you here:


Good question. I am not sure how I see myself without her.

I have spent enough time on my own to know that I'll be fine alone - in fact, there are definite things that I miss about it, like having lots of time to myself.

Yet I also know that I eventually want to have a partner in my life, as I find that to be rewarding and fulfilling. On the other hand, I know that I do not want to be "stuck" with the wrong person, so I would not want to be with somebody just to avoid being alone.

Maybe it's just a matter of waiting till my kids are out of the house, when I would be able to devote myself fully to my partner.

Regardless, I know that I would be fine. I just dread the idea of being out there again, looking. I hate that process. Which is why I'd probably just stay away from dating for a while.

Does that answer it at all, or has this confused you more <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />?

Hm.

So is this only for bluerskies <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> or I with others can reply to you about you here, or on Lexxy's thread about you, Lexxy (and me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)?

I guess I wondered if there would be things you'd miss about HER, not just a partnership in general...

I totally understand what you're saying about not wanting to be with someone just to avoid being alone. I hope to marry again one day...but I know that I won't "settle" again. I just want to wake up every morning and know that I am truly, deeply loved and to give that same love to my spouse.
I'm not asking for much, huh?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, of course everyone is welcome to reply! I just wanted to stop hijacking Lexxxy's thread with my own "issues" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
