[QUOTE="donna723, post: 410429, member: 1883"] There is a whole group of men out there who assume that a woman who is newly separated or divorced must be desperate for male attention and sex so they volunteer their "services" and think they're doing you a favor! I mean, who could resist THAT, huh? Or they think that you are so vulnerable and shaken after a marital breakup that you will be an easy target for them to take advantage of! Oh, pleeeeeze! I've been divorced and on my own for fifteen years now and honestly, I've never been happier! The old saying, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" is very true! I decided long ago that I did NOT want the complications and stress that having another man in my life would bring. I had two absolutely HORRIBLE, stressful, damaging marriages and divorces and I will never take the chance on going through that again! There are many good, happy marriages out there and I do envy those people but it's not for me. When I was married and the kids were still at home, it seems like all I ever did was give and give and give and never received until there was nothing left of me! I didn't even feel like a real person any more. And now, my decisions are my own, my money is my own to spend as I see fit, 99% of the stress is gone, and for the first time I feel like my life is finally under control. I have my pets and I keep busy and I am very, very happy being on my own. I'm not really against marriage but you see so many who marry for all the wrong reasons. A lot of women feel like they're nothing unless they have a man in their life - and any man is better than no man! Gak! Or they marry because it's easier and more acceptable to be part of a couple. Or they marry for financial reasons or to have a "daddy" for their kids or so they will always have a date for New Years Eve! Nope! Not for me! [/QUOTE]
