[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for your responses, most of which resonated.  My ten year "monogamous" marriage was devoid of an active sex life, which was very different than my previous 16 years since I started having sex.

It's possible that I may want monogamy in the right situation in the future - but yes, right now, after an emotionally exhausting and sexless marriage, I am not looking for a LTR at this time.[/quote]

I don’t mind the idea of a long term partnership. A long term relationship? They have to bring something to the table I don’t already have. And of course it has to be something I value and want. Most of those things aren’t materiel, but inherently built in a person’s character through time and tenured decision making, introspection, and a broader approach to conflict resolution and life in general. They can’t fake it if they didn’t out the time in to make it. I don’t force compatibility and have a high tolerance for people that are contradictions to my way of being. So, I remove expectations and do the best I can otherwise.

People are attracted to me, but it is hard for me to hold a strong attraction for them. True attraction isn’t skin deep.[/quote]
