This is probably the 4th time I have signed up, but I always delete my accounts.
The weirdest messages so far are either from people who are on the other side of the world, but apparently potentially willing to relocate for me and already pledging some kind of undying allegiance.
This person is apparently a widower but his wife “died in a car crash 6 years ago and he is over it” 
.
Or the two jokers who have a friend who “saw my profile over their shoulder” (I signed up yesterday), who is widowed, and doesn’t want to do OLD. However here is his email address and he will email me photos 
.
Then there are the people who can’t write or spell, the one who made some lurid comment, the ones who are much older, lots more very earnest people who again seem to be willing to relocate...
I divorced my ex because he was emotionally abusive and in the end I had no choice, and even though for the last few years of our marriage he did not touch me, was regularly unkind, subjected me to endless silent treatments etc... this morning I really missed him .
So it’s back to being single IMO. And aibu to think that almost anything is more interesting than talking to random strangers on OLD sites. Give me a good debate about politics on Mumsnet any day of the week.
to all the women (and men) who are on here, you are often articulate, interesting, clever, supportive, so thank you, I’ll be sticking to Mumsnet 
.
