Perhaps a life commitment isn’t in your DNA at the moment — that doesn’t mean it can’t be there five years from now. There’s nothing chickenscratch about speaking your truth as it is today — you just aren’t sure about “forever” relationships with a single partner.

Relax. Close your eyes. Breathe. Be aware that where you are right now is not your final destination.

While the updated version holds merit for a possibility too, the points you made about being able to continue to grow, to continue to live YOUR truth, not his, are valid and what I believe too. I say this because of what you say (and I agree with too) about best friends evolving, and how those relationships shift accordingly. Why, then, if a man is your best friend, life partner, or marriage partner wouldn't the same theory hold true. Perhaps it's the word monogamy that trips us up. Being with those who see me for who I am and honor me being just me unconditionally while living my BEST life. I don't believe in Forever either. I believe in today. Just today. LOVE how you bring up these topics for discourse! Great stuff and YOU are too. I realize I'm late in chiming in here, EPW, but I'm really in synch with your original post.

Who really wants to admit they don't want to be hurt again? Have you considered that for now as you have just gotten out of marriage, and going through a personal growth time, that perhaps right now "forever" may not be where YOU are at right now. Maybe this is time to get to know YOU without all the relationship stuff. When the time is right, I think you will find your forever. This makes sense.

i have dedicated my life, as you know, to supporting women as they make these really hard decisions and come to terms with their TRUTH and navigate the choppy waters during and after divorce.

having been there myself, i know EXACTLY what you are writing about….and, i spent about four years after my divorce “exploring” all kinds of men and relationships so that i could define with confidence what my “ideal” relationship would be! each date, experience and journey got me closer to what i truly wanted. i gained such clarity on what i wanted it to look, feel and be like, that i was absolutely ready when he entered my life.

like you, i am not sure how i feel about “forever” or that walking down an aisle makes it “meant to be”….but i do know that i want to spend the forseable forever with my partner.

we are together almost three years, i never imagined this is the man i would end up with or that i could experience such romantic bliss.

it was a hard and long road to get to today, even with him. you know…two ex-spouses, four kids, two jobs, a business and a dog between us…not easy to keep everyone happy! but, i am having the time of my life.

and guess what, we have absolutely no plan for marriage but are committed in a way that i have never felt!

you have faced your fear and you are doing it anyway…you are NOW ready!

i am here for you, as i am for all women (and men) who want to face their truth and enormous courage it takes to love blindly and deeply! a huge risk, but the even greater return!

you ROCK elizabeth and i am proud to know such a brave, bold and beautiful woman!

However, 7 years ago I found someone that changed my mind. Someone that is worth the work and risk... someone that thinks I'm worth the work and risk too. Here's to finding your truth... whether It's a solo or a dynamic duo. I've been there. However, 7 years ago I found someone that changed my mind.
