I read all of these posts and personally find some truth in each one.
Does anyone else consider our age and level of experience? After all when young and naieve anything is possible and there is always a way.........
Now, as veterans our perspectives are altered. Experience has made more of the realist out of us. I always wondered why old people were so grumpy when I was a kid. I now realize they weren't being grumpy, just honest, without any patronizing. They no longer have time for BS.
After 24 yrs.(with x) and myself now 42, I have a hard time conceiving of any possibility of another meaningful relationship. I have 3 children to raise. 3 children with a very concise idea about who is or isn't their mom or dad, who does or doesn't "belong" together. Not to mention having spent a lifetime with someone you come to know so completely and have for so long identified with. Being a husband and a father (me) until it seems that is all you know, all that you are, what you have become.
To meet someone at this age, with all of our collective past, water under the bridge, must surely overwhelm the bridge. I don't know. I am not really jaded, just not very hopeful about the ability to ever meet someone that I can relate to, feel a bond with, share myself completely with, ever again.
