There is wisdom in doing one's own thing. @eudemonism Glad you are not too bad, considering ... Socialising has been torture for me too.
I did a bit of my thing today and my son came. We had a picnic and a lovely walk in a local gorge.
For a weird reason I have been caught out with the "open book" or "heart on my sleeve" style. I have been thinking I need to be more guarded, so I will remember that 'Touch and go' phrase. @Adek

I lived alone for a few years before I married and have been without a partner for 16 years. So I know what it is like to live a lot of the time with myself for company and it often becomes a lot of time in one's head.
@eudemonism This thread has been good in lots of ways. We come from different points of view but the interweaving is helpful ... I think?
There has been more company for me on this forum during the last 2 years than at any time in my life.
I hope @Former-Member is alright.
One marriage was enough for me. Not saying never, but in no rush.
@Adek That is a lovely way of putting it ... we are all on journeys to eternity.

@eudemonism @Adek @Appleblossom
interesting that you have been talking about marriages.....relationships
we went to the city for our anniversary...did some lovely things....not having to rush....not having to think about long drive home....nice
yesterday we left motor inn and went straight home...we had planned to do more....I came down with the dreaded virus on the sunday night
have had to postpone heart echo sound due this thursday until next week....that is ok though..just frustrating
I think that you have been talking about trust....that is what I read between the lines...vulnerability
@eudemonism you talk openly about your feelings...experiences....this will help you
I am sorry but I have to get off the computer...really don't feel well....will catch up in a couple of days or when feeling a bit better..thank you all for thinking of me
take care my friends
