I think it's normal to want a companion after being divorced for 3 years. But my aging mother thinks I am desperate for a man. I think she should butt out.

How can wanting some affection make you desperate?? I think everybody has the right to come home and feel like there is somebody at home who cares. It is not desperate if you want to talk to somebody that you care about and let them know how your day was and to find out how their day was and also when something exciting happens to you there should be that fabulous someone that you can tell it is not about being desperate it is about being human and having a person that cares about you as much as you care about him, go out and find that some one fabulous he is out there for you

After being divorced twice, and alone for over 2 years I am happier and more at peace than I've been ever! I'm enjoying the solo life, like not having to answer to a man. Granted neither of my marriages were solid. I guess it's normal to want a companion especially if your marriage had it's good times . You are not desperate for feeling lonely, but just don't go for any old guy to avoid being alone . It's better to be alone and happy than married and miserable! Keep your life busy in other ways with hobbies, friends, activities, work, church or whatever you enjoy.

After 3 years you are probably ready to try love again. That doesn't make you desperate at all. If you had just recently divorced and feeling this way then I might think you were desperate but not after 3 years. Mother doesn't always know best. You know better than anyone what you want and are ready for so listen to your heart. Good luck!

No that is not being desperate. I could understand it being desperate if it was 1 or 2 months after your divorce but 3 years no honey. DO YOU!!!

Get a dog!
Go to the park for a walk with the dog, possibly meet a man.
Get to know yourself first, after divorce before trying to get a man.
BUT
If you are craving affection and a booty call, just call an old friend for that.

I dont think you sound desperate at all. Who would want to be alone? Your mom is probably just worried about you being hurt again, but she does need to learn to mind her own business. Are you dating? What are you doing to meet someone new?

I think you are right, she should butt out. 3 years is quite enough! You need to get a man already! =)

Absolutely not. Like myself ... you're lonely. There's a huge difference between desperation and loneliness. It's time your found yourself a good man ... one that will fill that void in your heart. You go girl ......
