Can you advise me please?
I'm 50, divorced for past five years and two of my three children live at home and will do so for the next four years.
I like the idea of a relationship .. the friendship, the connection, the shared values and experiences and of course the chemistry.
I don't like the idea of introducing someone into our lives and home as we had a lovely, easy and harmonious life now.
I've decided that I won't have a man living in my home until my children leave for uni. That's definite.
I see myself getting old and tired but love my space and my home. I have wonderful friends and family, a job that I love and a couple of past times.
My children are finally in a good place emotionally.
However, I'm struggling to decide whether I would actually like another relationship. I think that there may be an element of societal pressure but I am also aware that my children will have moved out and on in less than five years and perhaps that may be too late to start thinking about romance but would love that connection and relationship when my responsibilities are less and my home essentially empty mostly!
Does anyone have any experience in this area please?
