Freedom being alone right? Nurse? Lucky dog. Send her my way if you're not ready. I get the whole female validation thing. Been chasing it since I was 4. And will be 40 in Sept. Have come to realize that if I am seeking female validation, then Im definately not getting out and not GALing enough. 22 years 4 failed relationships and a failed marriage. On one hand I miss the adventure, getting to know someone, the excitement of things being new, and the sex. What man wouldn't? On the other hand. A lot of us can't be bothered shacking up, or just don't want to be vulnerable or commiting to anyone until we "find ourselves" again and build on it into a whole new person. The opposite sex and the dating game cones with its own set of problems, along with our own. I love being alone, just [censored] money is so tight that I can't get out. Haven't been out in 4 months, and now I have a whole new set of family, money, and trust ssues with my Mother's estate and entitled demanding POS family members who all of a sudden want something. Owe XW back monies on S2 insurance and daycare. Still would rather be alone, go through it alone, and deal and cope with all of it alone. Beats the $hit out of being around toxic endangering, untrusting backstabbers. Definitely making me stronger. Next on my agenda. Get taxes and refund and nook a trip to Montana. Just for myself. Time to live. If you can Firemann. Make sone travel plans and live a little. It might clear your head.
