GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Hello everyone.

I want to assure you I am well.

And still NMNK.

What happened is that I stepped away because of all the changes in my life due to the pandemic, which I hope is on the verge of being over.

What happened also is that I've had a bit too much time to think.

I thought about why I'm not interested in dating.

I thought about various things idiots (including sexist women) have said to me, simply because I'm not married.

For some people being divorced is better publicity than being never married.

For some people being married repeatedly is better than realizing marriage is not for them.

For some people, proving you're "normal" even if it means being with a bad man, is better than seeming to be "abnormal" because you would rather have no man than a bad man.

As a heterosexual woman, I speak for myself, but I do know that men face similar issues, even though Bachelors are rather admired.  I think men's families put pressure on them too.

I'm not against sex, good relationships, or commitment.

I am for being self aware and honest in relationships.

This is all for now.

Thanks for reading!
