ALL,

Thanks for the response. I beleive part of my issue is also age related. Not necessarily in the chronological sense, but the being able to retire sense.

The D, forced me to refinance to share the equity in our home and put me into a mortgage that runs well past the normal retirement age. I realize this is all choices I made, but my mind keeps reminding me I can't afford to get D'd again and the best way to avoid that is to not get married. Conversely, I truely believe it will be difficult, knowing what I do about females, to have any kind of long term mutual relationship, if I'm heistant to take to the leap.

Is there "the one" out there? Maybe. I guess I'm moving forward with open eyes, the part I'm struggling with is opening my mind. I hear what it is saying to me, it is processing the information to a definitive result that is eluding me.

A quandry for sure.

Steve
