I've been divorced 21 years now and am happy being on my own. As long as I can afford it...I do what I want..when I want without someone looking over my shoulder criticizing. If I want 18 sewing machines in my house ( BTW I really do :lol: ) it's my choice. And since I've outlived two ex spouses, I'd say quilting has been a definite calming part of my life.
