Process of moving on

A book I read years ago before the internet

"The Art of Living Single!

Here's the thing though, we all were Single BEFORE we got married, happy, content, peace of mind.

We can reclaim that life again. If, I had it together again, I wouldn't have wasted some of the best years of youth and life, even looking for a steady girlfriend, let alone a wife.

You’re not wrong that banging lots of women can help move on. How viable that is as an option obviously depends.

But it’s also perfectly normal to have stretches where you’re feeling down

Simple advice is if you want to meet interesting people you have to be more interesting.

Talking about your day is BORING.

I would advise not even to concern yourself with even getting a date for Saturday night, let alone a full-blown relationship.

At this point, you're highly susceptible to getting into a rebound relationship, which can easily last several years or more.

Relationships are EASY to get (Fall) into, can be a birch to maintain, and one hell of a mother trucker to get out of. Most will fail at one point or another, for one reason or another? In fact, your average person, be they mail or female, will have move failures than successes when it comes to long-term relationships. Just the way it is. There ARE still some good ones around, but generally their like good jobs? The good ones are already taken, the ones that have them, have had them for a good long while, and you're generally going to just about have to kill them to get them away from them. It needs to be noted that while the divorce rate for 1st time marriages hovers +/- 50 %, the divorce rate for 2nd time marriages is around 60% and for 3rd time marriages? Around 70%. Keep in mind that it is women who intimate most divorces! Anywhere, from around 75% to as much as 90%

I concentrated on working on myself. I intentionally didn't even try nor bother with finding someone else. I DID concentrate on achieving financial security and stability. I DID concentrate on self educating myself. Read a small library of books about women, interpersonal relationships, divorce, hoe to romantic, personal finance, etc.

I also set as a goal to make myself "divorce proof" as possible. I bought a 2,000 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bathtoom house and 53 acres of land, in my name and my name only! All that own now is in my name, and you can bet only my name is going to remain on it! (BTW? It's all paid for, as I'm retired from the United States Marine, worked two jobs off and on over the years, and stayed single!)

A lot of women at your age are looking for a meal ticket, a payday, an early retirement plan, and a Daddy for their children. I made my mind up that wasn't going to be me. I don't need a Walmart cutie, a truck stop waitress beauty with a car load of children, an overflowing drawer full of bills, collections notices, and who brings nothing to the table other than sex

The ROI (Return On Investment) and PV & FV (Present Value and Future Value) of my time, effort, energy, and money in return for some sex just isn't there! Are you in a relationship just for the sex? You're in it for all the wrong reasons! What men get out of it relationship with women these days is EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to take care of and pay for everything in exchange for a little sex!

I'm 66 going on 67 come April. I'm a retired United States Marine, retired from the State of Alabama, retired at full retirement age on Social Security, and currently working full time for the State of Mississippi Department of Corrections. Everything I own is bought and paid for and in my name ONLY!

There's not any shortage of women. The planet is covered up with them. There's ONLY like 3 to 4 billion of them. If you want to have more sex? Stay, single. If you want to have LESS sex? Get married again! After a man has already been married and had children? He really hasn't any reason nor incentive to get married again! Women have it firmly burned into their minds that they have the supply. and men have the demand! That may be true in our teens and twenties, even our thirties. But, eventually, some men wake up and say no, I'll pass. Such men, forever piss women off!

It sounds corny but it does get better over the long-term. I work in an office Front of a screen the whole day. My brain is fried at the end of the day. But I took a part-time job at a dollar store. Pays $10 Hour. The big thing was getting out of the house. I got tired of idling around watching TV or playing PlayStation for hours. The part-time job is kind of relaxing. I don't have to think about anything open box put stuff in shelf. I think that's gonna be the practical idea to start finding an activity.
