Not to mention that I have no interest in kids either. If I'm going to do something it has to be for a reason. To work towards a goal. Dating would end up nowhere each and every time so why bother?

My biggest problem is 2 things. 1) I really don't trust my own judgement in selecting women. 2) I'm truly afraid of the consequences of getting married and then divorced again. Social attitudes and the legal system definitely leans in favor of the woman. <BR/><DADvocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621021178600799126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14041107.post-1137692719130558712006-01-19T09:45:00.000-08:002006-01-19T09:45:00.000-08:00I'm a 43-year old woman in a deeply platonic relat...I'm a 43-year old woman in a deeply platonic relationship with a 39-year old man. We're not going to get married, we're not going to co-mingle finances, we're not going to set up house together. Despite the missing component, and it's a big one, it works for us. Hanging out with him, eating meat-lovers pizza, watching South Park re-runs, there's humour, honesty and camraderie.

I've come to the conclusion that as a rule, being in a relationship (whether it's marriage or just seeing someone) is more trouble than it's worth. I suppose I could be convinced otherwise if the right woman crossed my path, but that has yet to happen and I am convinced it's not going to.
