A friend loaned me a book that I haven't read yet - the title is A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman by Joan Anderson. As a writer, she was able to retreat to Cape Cod and the experience was a time of growth for them as people and healing for their M. A lot of us with 9-5 jobs can't go live on an island for a long time, but if there was a way to take "time out" without guilt or pressure I think it would help a lot of Ms.
seekpeaceofmind,
That may be okay in the "ideal and innocent" situation. One could probably grow and learn a lot. However, I think the vast majority of those people want to date and screw around. To me, that is totally unacceptable.
Take Care,
