Yup it can work 👍🏻

I tend to avoid single/divorced men as I don’t feel equal footing - but it 💯 can and does work as we know x

Circe....

Appreciate your thoughts I'm a long long way down the road and have made peace with my situation. After 10 (not particularly successful) months on regular dating apps I found myself here, which strangely felt a lot more appropriate.

You know how it is, once you've entered the IE "Matrix" life suddenly doesn't look the same again. So my mind was opened and I've found somewhere where my circumstances are not considered an issue, in fact my flexibility is seen by some as a benefit.

I think it depends on the connection you have with the person, the stronger the connection the more you're going to want to message the person. I met someone on here a dew years ago and it was explosive in a good way, and therefore we messaged each other quite alot.

Indeed we do ... you have yours and I have mine.

You voiced yours and I voiced mine.

Not everyone resents the other's freedom ... there are marrieds with marrieds who resent the other's freedom too.

Everyone's situation/personality/attitude is different.

Live and let live shall we.

Im really sorry to hear about your situation, which obviously I didn't know about.
I really hope it all works out for you, everyone deserves some "time-out". Xx

As I say if it works, great.
However if one starts to resent the other over freedoms vs restrictions then it's dead in the water.
Endex.

Circe180.

It's something we've already discussed. I made sure she has a good friend who she can confide in....she does who voices the same concerns you do. We're both going in with eyes open. This isn't her first rodeo either.

I can't have a "normal" relationship as I have a chronically ill partner with whom I share a house and who I'm also attorney too. She's so far mentally gone that on a bad day she doesn't know who I am at all.

I choose to make sure she's cared for for the rest of her life, however long that may be (she's 50).

Technically that makes me single, in so much as I have no reason to hide my movements and no ties (she has 24/7 care).

I understand the limitations of the choice I've made, in fact initially I declined my IE on these grounds but she made a convincing case and we find ourselves where we are now.

So "single" in my case, is just a little different.
