[quote=Anonymous]I’m a female, late 40s

I’m fulfilled and engaged in a career I’m passionate about. I’m financially independent, and in no way reliant on my ex. I have good friends and family and health. I’m in a relationship with myself and I’m really enjoying it! I go where I want, do what I want, and don’t have to compromise or put myself last other than to my kids- which is the kind of sacrifice for a long term investment that I enjoy. They live with me and are heading towards college within 5 years. I’m savoring this time of fullness where I don’t need or want a partner. I’ve been divorced for 5 years now and I have no plans to marry again.

I’ve had relationships that have been exclusive and passionate and fun- but I’m not going to cohabitate or blend families ever so those relationships take a hard second to the kids and to me and my goals. I’m upfront about that  with men. I think it’s a great time in my life to fully embrace what I’ve learned through the process and should I choose a relationship in the future great! But for now- coming off a marriage impacted by abuse and addiction- it’s more critical to do the work and enjoy my life before I seek to share it in a meaningful way with another person.

I’m very independent so like many here, don’t plan to cohabitate, though I’d winter on a island or summer on the seine with them for sure in my early 50s when I’ll be an empty nester ;)[/quote]
