Cheaters Gonna Cheat

[BL42]

kml,

Had a little pleasant text chat with the first guy I dated after my ex left.

We are still friends and stay slightly in touch.

Just curious...purely friends, or might there be a "keep the connection as a backup plan" aspect?

Perfect is the enemy of the good. If I'd waited around for the perfect guy I would have never been in a relationship in all these years since my divorce. Everybody has some baggage at this age.

Indeed. The question is - do they acknowledge it and deal with it on their own or not.

You both make great points.

A neighbour of mine once opined that she felt that the longer someone lives alone, the more that they like it. Certainly seems to be the case for me.

I wonder the same, plus does the long period of independence make it harder to merge lives and compromise?
