After my divorce (not really a divorce as we weren't married, but were together 9 years, owned property in common, etc.) initially I took the view that my next would be my last one - the illusive lifetime partner, or descriptions of such similar effect. After some months with that perspective I came to realize it was not the best. It put a lot of pressure on myself, and the potential, from the get go. Now really, who gets it all right the first time? It simply wasn't realistic. I've taken a different view. I consider my relationships now to be "practice." The pressure to get everything perfect, or for them to do same, is gone. Mistakes are allowed, as are new ideas, approaches and dynamics. It all becomes more flexible, and that creates more opportunities to find solutions. Where there are solutions there are no problems. Uncle Nasty
