I'm kind of at a crossroads in life right now.
I divorced 6 yrs ago from a 20 yr marriage.
I stayed single for 3 yrs, but during most of that time I was in a LTR with someone who became very special... or so I thought... we ended up married, a little over 2 years ago, but unfortunately, we've figured out that we are in different places in our lives, at least, we have different priorities in life. So we finally figured out how to move on with our lives. Due to financial considerations, we coexisted together for wayyyy too long and it was impossible to have a personal life. So after all this time, I am trying to fill this this huge empty space in my heart. It has been empty for many months. I've kept it in check because of my "situation".
So, here I am. If something about me sparks an interest, please know that, at this point, I'm really looking to develop a close friend more than anything. Someone who is easy to talk to, easy to trust. And caring enough to want to listen, it would be a bonus to find someone with a mutual attraction and with similar desires ... anything other than that, time will tell... I'm not afraid of relationships, I will never let failure cause me to not attempt to have success. That, is a life rule, not just a relationship rule!
A little more about me. I'm retired from the Marine Corps, after 29 yrs, I retired 3 yrs ago. I also work on a government contract for IBM. I provide functional expertise to the IT folks building an info management system for DoD Food Service. I'm feeling the need to change soon though... obviously not the only change that needs to take place...
