I would love some companionship but I don't think I will ever marry again. Ideally I would love to find someone special, have him buy a house in my neighborhood rather then us living together. We could spend most of our time together but then we could still have time apart. We would have our own space but be close enough that it be convenient to get together.

I just don't think I can attach that ball and chain to my ankle again.

Is this because of having been hurt or because you have evolved into a more independent person? Or something else?

LOL, you must have me confused with someone else, I am not living with anyone nor have I lived with anyone in 7 years. I just don't want to do it again. I am a more independent and I just don't think I can open up and give up that much of my life anymore.

I don't want to live with anyone in my house, he can live next door.

For example, I hate sports. NO, I really hate them. I jeer and sneer at the sports cast and in general feel superior to those who shackle themselves to the TV to watch it. My TVs in short do not ever broadcast sports and I have no desire to change that. How is that going to be compatible, that attitude AND the specific dislike of sports.

My neighbor has a boyfriend who broke up with her because she wouldn't move in with him. She owns her own home and didn't want to give up so much of her independance. Now he just comes over on the weekends. He also came over and took care of her when she had surgery. It just seems so much nicer. There are weekends here and there where they have their own things to do but most weekends he is here. I think its nice.

I just need my own space.

God forbid some man comes in my house again and makes mention of how its too feminine for him or he doesn't like the flowers everywhere, man that really chaps my behind.

You sound like Shirley Maclaine and Jack Nicholson in Terms of Endearment

Maybe you are with someone new now.
Yes, I do remember you complaining and being upset about him going out to the bars, staying out late at night, and alot of arguing.

Lindsey, I fully support your stance to not get married! It is time women rise up and say no more to marriages! Women should not be forced into lives of just giving into men's demands and raising their children.

Women are just as equal to men. They can buy their own home with their own money, they can work and make just as much as men!

Yea, that pisses me off too especially with I bring ladies over. "The house is too messy," "Why don't you fold your clothes." on and on. It is my house so lay off!

Congratulations to you. I think people would be so much happier if they did what was organic to them and not what is expected of them. You can't give what you don't have or feel what you don't feel. And there's always someone who feels the same way and wants the same thing.
