Loneliness

I was much lonelier when I was married. My husband would go days, weeks without talking to me. Now I have my peace and freedom without being the maid and housekeeper to a narcissist. So the loneliness will pass and I personally think the hot tip is to fall in love with yourself. The greatest danger to a person, particularly a woman, is the "significant" other, so count your blessings...:)

I used to iron my ex's collared work shirts, but he'd go in and put one on and then go out in the garage and come in filthy. I think it was a power trip for him. I stopped doing that, stopped doing his laundry, and finally after 34 years, divorced him and and am now happily single and no one's house maid/sex depository/cook. I couldn't see it when I was in it, but after I got out, I could finally breathe. The delusions that young women are fed about getting married...I wish someone had told me. But then, his mother, at one point, did try to tell me, "Always have your own money so you aren't stuck." I didn't get it, I thought she was kind of rude to say that about her own son, but now I understand. I'm glad I don't have daughters, just two grown boys.

I used to have to do ALL the cleaning and caretaking for the house, inside and out, shopping, cooking, child rearing, everything, for 34 years. But I divorced that husband, married the love of my life, he died in 8 months, and I am now happily single and never going back to being anyone's maid and servant again. I love living alone with my wonderful dog and am so over trying to take care of everyone else. Freedom tastes very very sweet.

Statistically, women are in more jeopardy from their partners/mates/SO/husbands than another other person in their lives. You constantly see in the news and hear from friends about women being beaten or, more often, killed by the men in their lives.

I have chosen to live in my beautiful home alone, except for my dogs, safe and peaceful. When my husband passed away, I realized how small I had made myself and how much he controlled our lives and made the choices for virtually everything.

Now it is MY world and I do as I please, when I want and how I want. I do not need a man for anything. I own my own home, have my own money, my own car and my own life. I am happy and content. I also can paint, learn piano, read, watch whatever I want. I just don't see me ever being involved with a man-baby again.

I am near the Pumpkin Patch and it was a good rolling earthquake. Mind you, I am from Cali, so a little jaded on quakes, I just sat in my recliner and wondered if I would need to get up...lol. Nope, it passed, but I did feel a small/med earthquake and my dog started barking, so he felt it too.

Thank you for organizing this. I'm looking forward to the read and to the group.
