OP, I wanted to mention that I know a woman (she's not asexual but divorced) who started up a cooperative living situation with a couple other single moms, they share a home and the child care responsibilities. They say it's working out great. Might be an idea to explore.

Ahhhhhhh... So you have to be intelligent in order to not be annoyed and exasperated by her 189 paragraph post. Got it.

TL;DR. I feel like you're about to wear some poor man out if this is how you communicate.

I actually read your post in its entirety & feel that you are the type of person many of us would aspire to be!

You have the type of independence many of us women would love to have as well as clarity on what you want and do not want moving forward in your life.
Kudos to you.

I personally feel that society puts too much pressure on everyone to pair up.
Like we all are simply halves walking around and are not considered whole/complete until we find ourselves a partner to share our lives with.

This expectation is a huge detriment for those that are completely satisfied living life on their own terms.
