WHY I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A MAN

By Chris on Feb 3, 2009 | In A Little Humor | Send feedback »

I have lived alone for a long time and nosy, well-meaning family members never fail to ask me if I have met someone, am dating someone or am I looking for someone.

They never like the answer. I believe they think it is unnatural for a woman to live alone. Who will fix the air conditioner? Who will build the deck? Who will fix the leak in the sprinkler system? Well, I do all that.

Nearly forty years as a military wife prepared me well. Our sailor or soldier husbands had to get to their new duty station. That left we wives to sell the house, supervise the movers and drive the kids and ourselves across country. And with the low wages paid to military personnel, home repairs and improvements fell to us while our husband’s were away fighting foreign wars.

All these experiences allow us to be self-reliant and not desperate for a man. I have friends who married the first guy that showed interest and lived with all his negatives just so they wouldn’t be alone. And I suspect because they didn’t want everyone to think they couldn’t get a man.

Maybe I’ll find a good man someday but in the meantime I’m too busy to go hunting.
