sorry to be so blunt.

Hello. I am new here. I read your post tonight and I just want to say this.
I am in a situation where I "can't see the forest for the trees." and if you can understand that analogy the way I do, it means the answer is obvious, but you and I ... in our own particular situations... are so much in the middle of the mess that we can't see our way out. Though, others can clearly see our way out and give us the answer if we will only listen.
Well, "coping" I really feel for you because I was in an unhappy marriage for 21 years. I read and re-read your post, and I can tell you exactly what the answer is. However, I don't want to impose my anonymous opinion on someone unless they are ready to hear it. However, I can attest to you that I am intelligent. Not to brag... there are those who are more intelligent than I; yet I am just trying to help you and let you know I am not an 11 year old kid who wants to randomly post.
I hope you reply to accept my help. I hope I can help.
best wishes.

I am now 45. We have been divorced 3 or 3 1/2 years. I guess that is a good thing that I'm not counting. I have a 21 year old son and a 17 1/2 year old daughter who "accidentally" gave me a grand daughter who was born on my birthday in September. She is just over a year now. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. Especially during the turmultuous past 3 or so years. I honestly think she has saved my life.
I have tried dating again in the past year; howver I run into men who want sex and no feelings. I have not been with many men before or after my long marriage, so now I am feeling like a 15 year old ignorant child.
My curse and my blessing: I look like I am 30 or 35 at the oldest. I am not bragging, but I just shock everyone who says I have no crows feet. So, ultimately I attract 35 year olds and the men my age and older assume I am too young for them.
I tried match.com and found a*hole men who lied about being married and just wanted a fling... I can't do that again. I tried a man at work... that didn't work. I tried a man from highschool when I had facebook... that didn't work. I am actually trying to find contentment in my singleness. It is just frustrating to see all the other women around me who so easily find a man... even if they don't even want one. (aka my best friend). How does this carma work? Ugh.
I could use some help.

I also have read some posts... and maybe with the experiences I have been through, I can be of assistance to someone else. That is my hope. I don't know everything, but some of the posts I have read...well, the answer is obvious to me. I hope that someone will read my post and say the same... the answer is obvious and it is.... ??????
Thanks for listening.
