Hard to say. My husband demanded a divorce almost exactly 6 years ago, and he moved out a few months later. Since that time, I've gone out on a date or two with a few guys and had what you could call "real relationships" with even fewer. The most recent one lasted on-again-off-again for about two years, but it's been over for good for a few weeks now, possibly even a few months, depending on whom you ask and how upset he/she is feeling. <-- Trying to be funny despite it all.
*sigh*
With the exception of the relationship that just ended, I've pretty much felt single for most of the past 6 years since my husband left, but I've been truly "alone" for even longer. I was terribly lonely in the waning years of the marriage. I was with him for an anomalous 12 years. Before meeting him -the man who would eventually become my ex-husband - I had a boyfriend for 3 months my freshman year of college, and after grad school, I fell into a disastrous engagement to a man after we'd known each other a few weeks - the result of temporary insanity, I think.
That's basically it. I guess I suck at dating and I suck even more at relationships. Thank God my kids love me. They're all I really have in my day-to-day life. I do have good friends, but none of them live in my zip code. My ex got custody of all of our local friends, and I got our distance friends. Funny.
