@theechevydrivingsparky: Sometimes “I’m done dating” isn’t a decision. It’s self-protection. When you’ve been hurt enough, avoiding the risk starts to feel easier than admitting you still want something real. Ultimately, I think we all want to love someone and feel loved in return. No matter how independent we become, there’s still a part of us that wants to be chosen, understood, and genuinely wanted by someone. #DatingAfter40 #Healing #realtalk #Relationships #419
Most of the time that’s true. Some of us say he looks good, nice, maybe cld become something. Then I wonder if destroying my peace is worth any of it? It would be nice to someday find this kinda peace with someone. Sounds like u have and I wish u all the luck in the world!

It's protecting my peace, the life I've created for myself, and my heart. I've put way too much into myself the last years to have someone come in and ruin that. At the same time, I'm not completely closed off to the idea of having a partner in life

I'm not dating until I find someone that adds to the peace I created after the chaos of the last few years of my marriage. I've worked too hard on this version of me to give her up.

Hurt is a part of the process to grow us to be better partners for the next relationship. Don’t be afraid of hurt. Some of us ladies are really loving, loyal, and trustworthy and can’t wait to give it away to someone worthy.

This is so true, but I’m tired of being scared. I’m ready to let someone in again. Just told my adult son that I’m going to put myself back out there.

It always is this reason, someone who got kicked down a flight of stairs doesn't want to go down the stairs again.

I’m definitely scared to let someone get close and destroy all the work I’ve done to become the best version of myself!!! I can honestly say I do miss companionship but not enough to lose myself! I hope you have better luck in the dating than I have in the last couple years!!

Definitely 💯. I am scared and someday if it happens it happens. I will not ignore the red flags or anything that feels off. The process of being alone is making me realize what I want and what I won’t settle for again. I will set boundaries.
