    You have my sympathy and complete understanding. I am in a similar situation. I just can't seem to find time for a relationship. Got mandatory 24-hour on call schedule, overtime even when I am not on call, always work to be done at home, kids that I want to spend time with.... just can't seem to make time to get out and meet someone. It's great that you have a job that means so much to you. When you spend that much time working, it really must be something that you enjoy. It's also great that you have learned to love yourself, and realize that your needs are important. And what you want (a boyfriend who is not demanding, but available when you need him) is not selfish at all. I hope you find it soon. Have a great day!

      Life is so taxing. Time flies so fast and I never thought that it's been 4 years and yet, no lovin' at all.... Lol
      I am not pushing myself because I believe things happen for a reason. If it's my destiny to get old alone, so be it. It's better to be all by myself than being with someone who makes me feel completely alone.

    I understand your transition to consciousness - but it is not selfish to love yourself.
    Also, you may have more influence over things than you realise - what do you think?

    You have so many good things in your life. What's missing, or seems missing, will either happen or it won't. You're a smart and sensible person, and you're not going to throw away an essential like the joy you have with your children in exchange for something that would be nice but which you don't need. I think you're doing great with life's challenges, and good things will continue to happen in your life. Some you will work for, and some will just surprise you.

      I like good surprises...It's hard to sweat out but if I could extract the passion in me, I won't mind...**winks

    'Perhaps there are lucky ones who have it all... I am one of those who don't.'

    I think that your first sentence sums it up....if you or any of us had it all in life...what would motivate us to change our lifes?
    Frustrations, dreams and desires surely count at least as much as reason and logic.
    Kant said: Nothing great has ever been done without passion.
    I agreed with him.
    Reason and logic should serve passion...not the other way round.
    Find your passion(s) and it will all naturaly fall into place.

    I think you are in a good place for you and empowered for now being happy in yourself. You take care of your daughter and keeping it together. If I were in your position I would not discount an awesome person coming into your life but hed have to be pretty darn exceptional and treat you the way you really deserve..just saying..

    I would, and I think there would be others. But jealousy might rear its ugly head as it seems to do everywhere in this world. There would always be time for you my dear. And I do understand about the being too busy..... It seems to be part of these 'interesting' times....

      Well, I long for the day when I am not busy anymore. My daughter was asking me when will I stop working? I told her when you can already work and give me money. We both laughed. Yes, maybe the unexpected time will come and it excites me to let it happen.

    I am confident that you will easily find a man who would be happy to have you for whatever time you could give to him. I wonder, though, if you will find such a relationship fulfilling.

      I don't know...Fulfillment lies on satisfaction.
