Good for you. I've lived alone as a widow for 25 years. I was 34 when hubby died. He was 35. My 3 kids were raised by a single parent. Have I missed the companionship and sharing? Yes. Do I enjoy my life as is? Yes. To get married again, it would have to be someone VERY special.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed married life ... but over the years, I enjoy single life too! No one responsible for me except me! And you're right ... working for yourself is what its all about.
Congratulations ... you've had an epiphany! :lol:
