There are other options. Find a woman who's looking for a man just for kicks, as many are in websites. I understand not wanting to get back in the saddle as far as a relationship, but dating is still a valid thing, and while dating, it's rather easy to find a woman that's also just looking for companionship. Even here. Yes, the problem with all relationships that go sour is not vetting long enough, no like future plans, and hidden anger from previous relationships, which is where vetting comes into place. I, along with millions of people, have made that mistake more than once, so taking as long as you can to learn the other person is always best, unless of course you want the former. People don't think about going into relationships thinking they aren't going to last with the exception of the narcissist, who goes into all relationships to see what they can get, then toss aside the partner to find another one. That's the screwed up human being. And the children from those suffer the most, as they have an attachment to the narcissist, even though they couldn't give a rat's arse.
