I am currently in a bad marriage that I am trying to work my way out of. I am determined that, once free of this relationship, I shall never again live with or become financially entangled with a man. However I do hope that one day, however far in the future, I might meet someone and fall in love. However, my DM has advised me to come to terms with the fact that I may not ever meet anyone else. She thinks it's important that I leave my marriage with this understanding. This thought makes me sad because romantic love (or at least the idea of it) has always been important to me. And I suppose I find the prospect of many years of being without a partner somewhat daunting (I am 34 currently). However, given my experiences, I can certainly see the advantages of singlehood. So I am posting here to ask those of you who have experience of thus kind of lifestyle if you would share your experiences/reflections. I love to hear that it's possible to live a full and happy life without a partner, as it would really diminish many of my fears of separating.
TIA
