OH believe me, I do NOT want to find a man who has to be around all the time. I'm designed differently. I can't stand that. I"m weird like that.
Heck, I do not like to have visitors for extended periods of time. I like my alone time.![]()

I guess I'm a little like you and my grandma. I love my husband . I also love my own space and need time alone to be centered. Ron worked out of town a lot the first 20years of our marriage. It worked for us.
Now all his work is local. We vacation together . Once a year we take separate vacations. And we give each other freedom. We also have things we love to do together.
He thinks that if he passes before me that I'll have no problem finding another husband . I tell him what make's him think I'd want to marry someone else? I don't think I could find someone that could get along as good as we do. Plus I'm set in my ways and like things my way. I wouldn't remarry. He thinks I will. I had a great roll modal for living on your own as a women my grandmother. He says I'll get lonely . If that happens I'll invite someone over for co. And when I need to be alone they can go home. Pam
Another smart woman.
Naw, you ain't missin' nuttin'!
For me, I cannot stand to be around a man every single day of the week, day in / day out, 24/7. Heck, I can't stand to be around anyone for that period of time. The person that I would have to marry would have to be gone for EXTENDED periods of time. Like someone who works offshore and is gone for 4 weeks or more and is home no more than 2 weeks. If he is at home longer than 2 weeks, then he has to find somewhere to go or take up a hobby. I'm not a people person and I don't like clingy people. I have heard women say that they can't live without a man and they HAVE to be married. And nothing's wrong with that FOR THEM. I sometimes think about those women and I feel sorry for them. It's sad when you can't function because you NEED a man to be around. I feel so sorry for women like that. It must be lonely and miserable for them if they have to be around someone 24/7. I don't see how they do it.I think they need a hug.

Awwwwwwwwwww. PERFECT LOVE STORY!!!!!!!. How beautiful. How luck you are.![]()
You're my HERO! I LOVE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!
We are all different and we all function in different capacities and what works for one person may not work for the other. We all know what we need and want in life and at the end of the day, that is what matter.
Sounds like you all have a GREAT relationship. *sigh* I am sooooooo jealous but in a good way.
I love the way you think.![]()

For the record, Jim & I worked together for 14 years -- and then later on at another lumberyard for 2 years - that's right, together 24/7/365. A lot of people used to ask how we could stand to be together that much. It was - and never has been - a problem for us. We respect each other's space, and when we worked at the same place we left the office at the office and home at home.
For over 30 years, Jim was gone 1-2 nights a week, and for 2 years he lived in Lafayette Mon-Fri and was only home on weekends.
We've been married 35 years this year, so I guess whatever we're doing, we're doing it right for us.
Same with me, Julie. When I married Mr Insecure he would tell that I was suppose to call if I was going somewhere after work such as the grocery or Target so he wouldn't worry if I wasn't home on time. Well, I told him, "just don't worry about it"" I just wasn't used to that keeping up with each other all the time all day. I wasn't trying to be difficult , but I just didn't like that. And most of the time I just wouldn't think to call and that created trouble. I really did want the marriage to work and worked really hard at it, but I guess I'm not the marrying kind, or like Pam said, I haven't met someone that thinks like I do. Not looking and don't date though. And I'm not giving up my time every week with my granddaughter and don't want to share that either. Wow. I sound ornery.
Good for you, maternal grandmother is one of her (your granddaughter ) most important relationships after her parents. She will probably learn more from you than anyone else about life. Of all my family I miss my grandmother the most. Pam
