Lh, there is no more to this than what I’m sharing . Triple H, no labels. Nothing more, nothing less. Also, the last 25 years of my existence hasn’t been about finding a partner. Don’t know where you got that from. The last 15 Years of my life have been about surviving, raising my daughter, building my career, nurturing friendships and living life. Sure, did I want a partner? Yes. Did I exist for that purpose, god no. I see things differently now that I am older, my daughter is almost on her way to college and I have been living as a single woman for 15 years. Life looks different to me.
