Nola, I miss having a husband

Not my exH, per se.  But a husband.  Not enough to run out and get married anytime soon.  Certainly enough to know I don't like being alone, day in and day out - even with all the bad.

    Confession:

    I think that I'm so set in my ways that it's going to be hard to share decisions with someone else.

    I don't mind sleeping alone, and wonder why people complain when their husband is out of town and have the bed all to themselves.

    I often think that some of you wonder if I'm secretly crazy because I can't seem to find a man.:)

    I've been seeing someone for 3 weeks that I met on eharmony. No details, just wanted to throw that out there.

    I don't judge you for not being with just any old guy for the sake of it.  Lesson learned on my end - be 100000000% sure.  If you're taking time getting that assurance, I can only applaud that.  And I certainly don't think you're crazy.  Maybe Jesus crazy.  But you can't be the only one in the world.  ;)

    Nice!  Have fun with your eharmony guy.  Sounds like a good time has been had if he's still in the picture after the first few dates.  :)

    Heh, I *love* sleeping alone. If we ever get rich, we're going to have separate bedrooms.

    NOLA - I lived alone so long that H has to be very accomodating about the house. I, on the other hand, have learned to let go of a lot of things. He makes unilateral decisions about some things, I do about others and we compromise on the remainder. I would trip too much about that.

    And I know you aren't crazy. Just picky and I think that is GREAT!

    NOLA - I'm totally with you on the being set in my ways and loving having a bed to myself.  And DH and I met on eHarmony in 2004, got married in 2006, and have managed not to kill each other so far.   And the eHarmony peeps sent us a Tiffany crystal bowl as a weddin gift.   So there's that.

    Damn. Our dating service barely said "congratulations" when H told them about it. (When they called him 2 weeks before the wedding to see if they could set him up with someone else. He declined.)

    <div>We didn't get anything from Eharmony, maybe it is because we declined making a commercial for them?</div>

    We did not make a commercial.   IIRC, we just filled out a form online with our info and that we were getting married.   And then, VIOLA!, a pretty pretty box from Tiffany was delivered to our house.   :)

    I know what you mean about being set in your ways. I was 35 when I met my husband (on eHarmony) and he was 39. I was very worried about how we would mesh living together but we seem to balance each other very well.

    I don't sleep any different with or without DH.  I do like having him around to deal with the mice and frogs.

    I don't think you're crazy, Nola, I just think that there aren't a lot of men out there who are good enough for you.

    ::sits with NOLA::

    To be honest, I sometimes think that the only time I really miss having a man around full time is when I have had dog food and mult-packs of toilet paper riding around in my car for a week because I don't feel like carrying them into the house.
