I have been living most of this decade with my children, and it stinks because I am lonely. I know I shoulder all the parenting responsibilities but that is only part f it. After the kids are grown and gone, I do see myself right now as growing old by myself and that is not a happy forecast.

Yes, I certainly would remarry and that is one of my goals within five years, but I had hoped it would have happened sooner. I miss the happier aspects of the marriage such as having anther adult around to talk and share with. I miss sharing the workload around the house with someone I do not have to bribe or fight with.

You need respite care. Find a sitter who will work some nights for you, and go out with some friends. The only way you can move on, is to move forward. You will never find someone if you are home alone every evening with your children. I know that you are lonely, but the only way your loneliness will be alleviated, is to get out there amongst the other sheep and a few wolves again. :D Be brave! If you are a church minded person, return to church. You might find a mate there who is looking for a mate again himself.

It's said that people who were happy in their marriage remarry. So yes I'd want the experience again.

Yes... living alone is not the way humans were designed. We are social beings and need one another deeply. Anyone who does not want that isn't wired correctly. Matter of fact, if I had to live in a prison for the rest of my life its marriage I'd want more than anything, for without it I'd die.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I guess it would depend on the situation. losing him in any way would be life altering for me. He has told me before that if something happened to him he would want me to find someone else, but I don't know if I could.

It depends on the situation but I'm open to that idea. But if I were to choose, I would want me and my husband to grow old together. I want us ourselves to fondle our own grandchildren. Only God knows... I always pray for the best.

Maybe. I've got a good husband and I pray we get to grow older together. If not, I wouldn't feel compelled to go out looking for someone. But if the good Lord brought us together like he did me and my hubby, how could I refuse the blessing?

I honestly don't think I would; not right away anyway. I have a good marriage and I'm happy but I went straight from my mother's house to my husband's house so I've never experienced being on my own. I've lived my whole life with someone and I think I would enjoy being alone for a while.
