Since my divorce was final!!!! I am doing great!!! I have a house, 3 kids one dil and 3 grandkids with one due any day now!!! I just bought a new to me Explorer (my truck didn't have enough car seat space).

The only thing that I can say is that I would like a significant other in my life at this time, just someone for me as I give so much to everyone else I want someone special that is mine!!! But I am ok with not having someone! Someday Mr Wonderful is going to knock on my door and introduce himself to me.

Congratulations Dawn.

It is definitely a time to give thanks for all our blessings.

Mr. Wonderful might just be waiting for you in Home Depot!

weird how men try to pick up women in a supermarkets to judge how well they cook and women think of picking up men in home depot!

i goto home depot alot... oh the possibilities

Yup, I know how you feel <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. It's been almost 7 years for me, and I would say that only in the past couple of years did I truly TRULY find myself, become content in my own life with my kiddies (and kitties), and have become ready to have another partner.

No wonder I always seem to be the wet blanket (shhh, mlhb) when I see newly divorced people trying to have serious relationships - those of us who have spent some time alone can vouch how long it takes to truly become content and strong, and find your bearings again after a betrayal and divorce.

Congrats to you Dawn!

Yes charliethree, this site did help me get to this point. I found MB when my x first told me that he wanted a divorce.

I tell people about this site all the time, and high recommend it to many people.

newly I spent all summer in and out of Menard's and Lowes, no luck, found that men really don't like women who can take care of most things in life, I've plumbed, I've done drywall,texture, painting, you name it I did it this summer with the exception of electricity, not my thing I was electricuted (SP) when I was 6.

Since my divorce I've known two gentlemen my age who's wives have passed away due to cancer, and they've dated, married and one is divorced already. Have a girlfriend that divorced, meet online married and is having major financial issues, as she thought that he was going to support her 100% forgot that he had child support to pay!!!

I am thankful for the time that I've had on my own, I wonder sometimes if I really want to allow someone into my life, I like my independance, would someone be ok with that? Do I want to have to learn all those little things about someone else? Some days I am ready to jump in and then others I am thankful. But I am ok with me and what it is that I am doing in life and that's good and a good place to be.

Turkey isn't til 3:30 tomorrow, all are invited!!!

you are a wet blanket agg but i do agree that you need that alone time. i had many years of being alone and am fine with it. i do great on my own. i just chose to date someone who had not had that alone time yet. lesson learned.

i am fine alone, but would be ready as well to have a partner again. i am not "spouse hunting" but am ready for that next step again should the opportunity present itself.
