Let me clarify. Freedom is beautiful. We should all have it. I have it.

What I mean is these are men who want to invest nothing . They have been “trapped” in a marriage and haven’t been single according to them. They want a date once every few weeks and on the in between just kind of disappear. It’s been my experience anyways.

But basically you want a relationship; but you want it to end? I don’t understand that. Can you clarify?
