Ive been separated with my husband for almost 5 years now. From then, i didnt give anytime to entertain any man that comes on my way. I've been enjoying single life, enjoying time with my kids. Want to have an advise from you guys, is it good to stay alone for life eventhough there are times that I feel lonely and empty? What if having a man beside me only means heart aches and headaches...?

If I may and only because I have been where you are will I comment. I got divorced from my ex about ten years ago and for about nine of them there was no one special in my life and that wasn't for lack of trying, it was for me to clear my head from what I went through and try to get my life straight. I met a decent man a year or so ago and we do well. But before he entered my life, I told God that if it was his will for me to be alone, OK, I accept it. and I did; I was prepared to accept it when we went on hiatus due to illness this past summer. so I will say it like this; it's good to have, but you can do without.

People have natural desire to have a partner. People, particularly feminists here, need to see that finding a mate has everything to do with enjoyment and satisfaction, and little to do with dependence.

I think now is the perfect time to spend your time with your kids.I think that if having a man in your life just gives you heartaches,then much better you just enjoy time with your kids.your kids will love you,no matter what.this is also the great time to think of what you want to do in your life.by that,I mean you can pursue your dreams that you put on hold because you get married.if you wanted to start a business before but was put off because you got married,by all means you can do it now.

I understand where your comming from. I got out of a long relationship a while back and have just settled down and im finding im not really looking for romance. But really my advice to you is really stay single until you meet a guy that you like to have around. Relationships have a purpose and can be quite fulfilling if you can make them work. But your not wrong on the headaches though. Just taking care of myself is turning out to be quite relaxing i think.
