Ladies, please forgive my new negative attitude towards dating and relationships.

@Magenta @akindheart asked me to award you the best comment so I have with her good graces.

@WillaKissing @akindheart Aw you two! There was no need, but thank you both. 💕

@Magenta its all about being kind

@Notsimilarreally It is a shame the baby is the glue. I had that in my only marriage, the kids were the glue that kept me coming home. But when she said we needed a divorce so she could be with her soul mate. I said take her I am done with her, that was 2006 divorced 2007. and tried dating post-divorce and quit 10 years ago for all the same experiences I had with the ex-wife when married.

@WillaKissing it's amazing how different things are generationally. Working with old folks I have worked for so many couples that had been together almost their whole lives. It's really special and kind of a pipe dream these days... We have become too finicky.

Sad to hear that was your experience. I'm hoping myn ends a little differently but...pipe dream probably and we both know it's unlikely to be forever. But I guess we will just do our best and not be surprised if one of us leaves. Kind of fucked hey? Oh well.

I hope you are pleasantly surprised one day, or are truly at peace with yourself and your decision to not search any longer. A lot of women are missing out on a sweet and talented man, with you off the market. 🤗

@Notsimilarreally I am sorry that your relationship is the way it is. Just know you will still have your beautiful baby no matter what happens relationship wise.

Thank you for those kind words sweetheart, but today the straw broke and for the first time in my life I lost my optimism.

@Fungirlmmm Thank you, and I welcome friendship.

@JustNik That is very sound advice sweetheart, and I am doing so.

@WillaKissing Exactly. But... not all have been like that. I am seeing a couple women that are easy enough on the eyes, and fun to be around. Taking it slow with an emphasis on quality.

@carpediem Good luck.

@WillaKissing Thank you

@calicuz Oh Yeah!

@HumanEarth Now right there I call you one lucky man! Congrats, and it will take that to change me too.

@badminton Screw Shakespear, God said in the bible if man decides to be with woman he will have great troubles. Enough said.

@WillaKissing The same thing!

@NeuroticByNature That is about it for me now.

@ImpeccablyImperfect My last bit of hope and optimism eroded away today. No specific woman or reason. I just conceded and decided to quit believing.

@ReneeT Thank you.

@IamLara All is good, I just hit a limit and I have had enough trying.

@WillaKissing ok
