single for life

[isabelle]

Hi everyone,

I hadn't been around for ages , and then I log in and ... come across the ONE topic that's been looming large on my mind lately !  (this is what I love about this forum) . Stripey , thanks for this thread , and I can only agree with you on the happiness of single life (though as someone rightly stresses, there's a price to be paid either way) .

I am 44, and the longest (not happy) relationship I was in lasted for 9 years (7 of which we lived together under the same roof). As Mandy says , being a "wife" or partner to anyone, male or female, simply doesn't work for me . I have come to the happy and public assertion that I sure ain't the marrying kind , but I'm not the "living together as a couple " kind either ... and not even the "in a relationship" kind ! I know for a fact that I have always been happier when I have been on my own. Is it shameful if I say I suspect I am the " one-night-stands" kind ??

Hey Isabelle. Great to see you here! And no that's not shameful!! as long as you are both consenting adults!

Hey Isabelle!

It is great to see you again - welcome back!

I'm with Kelda - consenting adults - do what feels right to you.

just as an occasional treat, I don't think a milk based soup does any harm. occasionally I  put out some canned salmon for them too, but 95% of the time they get the diet the vet insists that I feed to them.

or perhaps a cat web cam date, with soup and all.  

Please keep in touch with updates on the success!
