I always loved being alone, until I met my current husband, now, when he is gone I feel lost…never thought I would say those words. May I suggest, especially to FOF women, to not ignore men who we normally wouldn’t have looked at in our younger years. My ex was a successful corporate vip and that was the type of man I normally found myself attracted to. But my current husband is a waterman and hunting guide. I have my own professional life now so I don’t need to live my life through a man’s career. He is kind, loving, open, warm, intelligent and a wonderful father to his grown daughter. He truly likes women. He is a FOF man and my best friend.

I met my husband (of 24 years) via a personals ad I place when a GF put me up to it on a bet. I was lucky, but was also finally open to it. Before, I didn’t think much of these methods. But you can walk right by somebody wonderful (if not for long term, at least for an interesting conversation). So many of us need a little help in meeting.

So do I. It doesn’t soothe anyone’s feelings or make one feel better when people say, as they are wont to do, something along the lines of… “Oh you’re so lucky you don’t have to ___ and ___ and ___. Insert whatever you like in those lines. Lucky? Lucky? You know what everyone (not just FOF women) should be careful about? Not assuming about anyone’s private life–even if you (think) you know them fairly well. I’m so glad that Laura talked to you honestly. She must have known (or took the risk) that you wouldn’t pooh-pooh what she said. Brava.
