I’m not interested in dating at all. When son starts school in January, that will open up a new world of social activities for me. For now, my preference is to spend as much time with him as possible while he’s still a preschooler because that time is so precious and so limited. If I had 50% custody instead of 80%, then I might be more motivated to get amongst it. I’ve focused on being a good friend and strengthening existing friendships instead. Teaching son the value of personal relationships and how to conduct himself in relationships is massively important to me.
My ideal relationship would be living alone together. No marriage, no shared home, no shared finances. Perpetual exclusive dating. Something like a verbal commitment up for renewal every couple of years or so. Since I don’t want any more biological children, I have the luxury of exploring the concept at my leisure. I’m excited about it!
