Forever is impossible with the constraints on relationships today. We all change as the years go by yet we expect the relationship will stay the same. We are unwilling to accept that our partner has changed and they require something new of us or acceptance of the new situation to maintain the relationship.

People mature differently over time and the partner you knew 20 years ago is not the partner you have today. You have also matured in some way and unless you both matured in the same way at the same rate, there will be conflict. The challenge is to find a mutually acceptable resolution to that conflict if the relationship is to survive and be healthy for both.

Using just the chronological age is inadequate especially as we get older. There comes a point when we look at different people in the same age group and see very different people and the lifestyle they enjoy. Some act truly old in their lifestyle and let their problems control what they will and won't do. Some act much younger than their actual years and try to overcome any restraints in their lives. They live a much younger lifestyle. It is finding those compatible lifestyles that is the ultimate goal. One only has to look at a number of profiles in a given age range and see the difference in they enjoy doing to understand where they are in lifestyle years.

This is probably the right choice you should be making. Share the fun!!

You are correct, there are very few actual needs such as food, water, and some level of shelter from the elements. Human contact is not a need either and sexual satisfaction can be self administered. I think most of us want a little more in life than basic survival and then human companionship and sex becomes an important element of that improved lifestyle.

The simple basics: sex, companionship, and the freedom to do the things they enjoy! Not difficult but almost impossible to find in an older woman.

103 and in the nursing home!!

Just another scam of bait and switch. No different than the scammers on here!

Far longer than is reasonable!!! Legalize prostitution!

Obviously, he is not a politician and doesn't follow the rules of political normalcy. He does need to get a better handle on his administration and how they work together. He could be doing much better with a better staff working with him.

Heat wave coming for the weekend! Supposed to be over 40, LOL

I still miss DH!! Along with Craigslist!

I don't live in an RV but will be leaving for the south after the New Year. Too many things going on here to leave yet. Maybe some day I'll get my life back in order and can head south around Halloween!! Enjoy your winter in snow country!!

It seems like winter is a little early! Bunch of snow last night and unseasonably cold. Hate winter!!!

A scammer or a hooker? At least a hooker is an honest woman!

Race issues in the US are very complex with lots of personal opinions. I don't believe most of the discrimination we see today is strictly race based but on what other groups think of the value of the people that represent that race. This is usually based on their personal experiences with people of that race. Think of it as an evaluation of the characteristics of those individuals that represent that race to someone. Are they honest? Have a good work ethic? Not addicts? Not prone to violence? The same characteristics you judge people by who are around you. If your experiences are positive with that racial group, you tend not to discriminate; if those experiences are negative, you tend to consider all people of that group worthless. Large urban areas probably have much more discrimination than less populated areas of the country.

This is the kind of story that many of us do not consider "news" reporting but simply a personal story full of political opinion. This is why the media and so called "journalists" are considered biased and unworthy of reading their fictional "news".

Men heal from their past experiences, the difference is in what they are looking for or will accept after that. What you view as "not healing", men see as the new normal for them. While women are looking for a new relationship, men are looking for a more casual, fun experience. It can even be monogamous but you are not moving into my home 24/7!!

"Yet... women recover, find their feet and want a new relationship, are able and willing to take the risk of getting hurt again as that's the only way to love.
Why can't men do that?"

Maybe the answer lies in this question: Why do women want that new relationship? What do they expect to get out of it that men don't? What price are they willing to pay for that relationship? What is the true definition that most women use for a relationship?

There are several experiences most divorced men have gone through:
1. Long time lack of sex
2. Many years without freedom
3. Significant loss of financial resources.

Ladies, you have to be something really special for a man to be interested in you for the long term in a serious relationship!
