I have not decided to be single for good. Didn't you read my post? I want a girlfriend.

I honest to God can not imagine being 70 years old and being all alone.

I need companionship, and I think in the later years it's really needed.

you have one...unless you've accidentally boiled her off in a freak accident whilst making mac n'cheese.

That sums it up excellently in one way.

In another, i know i'm pretty much flawed in some aspects of my character, some being resulted off of bad childhood experiences.

I'm secretive, i'm controlling, i'm analytical, i'm defensive, i tick off easily when two voices raise, i stress out in a snap, i hate crowds,, and yes i treasure the time i spend alone.

I'm not willing 2 shove those negative features down my partner's/kids' throats JUST for the sake of making a family, which could turn out to be a dysfunctional one (just imagine the other partner being as bad)

O Gawd, I want to be retired and going on trips and eating at buffets every nite, and sitting on a porch swing, with someone when I'm 70. You can't be alone at 70. My X boyfriends gram got divorced in like her 60's and she ended up drunk at Knights of Columbus every nite.

That's exactly why I think I need to do this. I don't want to be the drunk crazy old cat lady at the VFW!!

i don't think it'd get that way with me though...the most that'd happen with me is becoming a total recluse.

I would be the crazy lady with 25 cats and my house would smell like a litter box and I'd still be going to First Ave, getting drunk way too early and hitting on boys less than half my age who will think getting hit on by me is a hoot cause I'm a crazy old red-headed lady.

I'm not far off now.

Having a husband that age won't prevent that stuff. Besides, what happens when they bite the big one?

We are not even talking about marriage.

And your companion biting the big one is a fact of life and does not mean that you will now be alone for ever.

At that age it's really all about companionship, and losing one partner does not mean that you can not form another bond with someone else at that age. It's all about continuing to be being open to being with someone that you enjoy being around and vise versa, and never thinking that you have to go it alone.
