I have lately been having some uncertainty about the prospects of a long term relationship/marriage with GF40. She is a nice girl, but it seems that there are a bunch of little things adding up that is making me not have that much desire. I suppose now that I am feeling this uncertainty that I will probably focus more on her positives and negatives. She has had her heart broken before (just like me) and I dont want to be another guy to break her heart. But, I dont want to go too far down a relationship path with her if it is not going to work out.

Part of me just wants to spend time on my own (when I dont have the kids) doing solitary stuff like mountain climbing, sailing and skiing that I enjoyed when I was in my 20's and 30's.
