I just wish that the stigma of being single disappears - it has to a certain extent but usually it's the woman who is deemed 'left on the shelf' etc not the man. We're happy and I wish everyone happiness, whatever form it takes and whatever age.

When we split people would tell me how he'd cheated on me....funny how they don't tell you at the time. If I could only have my youth again with the sense in my head I have now I would lead him such a merry dance and then when he was really hooked on tell him to #"&% off big time. That would have felt so good. What happened to him you ask.......last I heard he'd been married & divorced at least four times and had had numerous affairs, leopard don't change it's spots.

If anything would happen to him I would not be interested at all in a relationship I would stay single.

She is exactly my age ( we both turned 72 a month ago) and she had never married. She told me she met someone last July, who has a house in the same development where she lives and he is THE one!! Finally. I think that is totally amazing, thrilling and I hope she is right.

He was gorgeous .... handsome, sexy and rich. Or so I thought, in my gullible and besotted youth. I tried different ploys to catch this guy but was not successful, nor was I meant to be. Turns out he was/is a pathological liar and a thief who embezzled from his own family who cast him out. Thankfully, about the same time, I met my future husband and have never looked back LOLQuesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132950764844608518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-79061801567179648072017-02-03T21:16:15.254+00:002017-02-03T21:16:15.254+00:00oh I remember those days when I was between 14-18....oh I remember those days when I was between 14-18.

Isn't it strange to look back sometimes! I've been single for over 20 years now, I don't miss the dramas of romantic relationships tbh. I'm in my late 50's now and I love that my hormones have calmed down, I'm happy with who I am and I love the independence of single life. It is peaceful and I have the freedom and at present, the energy, to make the most of it. I feel sorry for some of my friends who are desperate to meet someone but finding that in later life this is often very hard. I think some people are not made to live alone, they just can't cope with it and yearn for intimacy, which is understandable. I was an only child and am definitely a bit solitary by nature! I wish I had some fun teenage dramas to share but mostly I just remember being horribly shy and spending a lot of time mooning over boys who didn't look at me twice lol.kateonthecoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891902076668283146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-57234521928777165312017-02-03T21:04:04.342+00:002017-02-03T21:04:04.342+00:00Love is a funny thing and maybe it means different...Love is a funny thing and maybe it means different things to different people. I have been married for the second time for 25 years and I still can't work it out. The most amazing example of love and devotion that I know is that of my parents ,after 62 years of marriage Dad has recently died after a long and excruciating illness, their last few months together was so close and special it was a privilege to see and be part of it. Love should be unconditional but we are only human and we don't always get it right but at the end of the day it is a personal thing that must be respected and treasured and if we were all lucky to have half of what my parents had the world would be a better place and it is also just as ok to love yourself and your pets as they need love too.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-75557176482628669232017-02-03T20:00:54.456+00:002017-02-03T20:00:54.456+00:00I remember being a lot like that when I was a teen...I remember being a lot like that when I was a teenager.
