Relationships

You know, I’ve been obsessed with relationships since I first went to school. How about you? Do you wish your relationship was different? Or do you just wish you were in one?

Of course, you don’t want to be one of those “Any port in a storm” types. You want the relationship you want!!!  But is this person out there?

Would it make you feel better if everything I’ve observed tells me that women over 50 are actually at a better bargaining point in relationships than at any other time in history?

I know you will say yes, because my friends in real life say that. “Really? Guys message you on Match? Guys who you would actually date?”

Yes, they did. I found it a lot of fun, but ended up taking a break from Match.com when school started. It wasn’t as easy as it looked. And I was still not sure what I wanted to do about my solo status. My fear of Bad Relationships was operative.

The other half of relationships are non-romantic, family relationships. I don’t know about you, but those take up a lot of space rent free in my head, too. The decline and fall of my friendship with my mother has been pretty hard.

These are all things we can talk about on this blog. I’m so anxious to hear from you and I hope you’ll comment on the Relationship posts here. Together we can build a body of knowledge and find what we are looking for. It’s out there — of that I am sure.
