Oh no. In fact, not that I'm seeing anyone or anything like that, but I am quite sure that I will have at least one more (hopefully just one more) significant relationship in my life. Like willravel, I am tuned for relationships, I think. I just keep making choices that...well, I don't really make choices, lol, I follow my heart around like a shadow. sheesh. That's sad.

But I haven't given up on the prospect of love. Actual legal marriage? I can take it or leave it.

My mother met my stepfather when she was 50 and he is literally the best man I've ever met. Actually, no, the best person I have ever met. So I am not giving up hope.
