He needs the community and so do I. I think it would be way too easy for me to drown in self-pity or loneliness if I was on my own with my son. Having them helps through the hard times.

And I love to cook - it brings me a lot of peace and happiness to put a good meal together, whether for my kids or just myself. But I would love, on occasion, to come home and let someone take care of me. (there are other marital benefits) I totally miss being married!

Miss having a wife. I suspected this might be what goes unsaid around here where there is always a dinner made and a home kept. And in that way, it was music to my ears. A little ricochet of appreciation, which is, like all things, too much to expect. Oh no! Don’t miss being married. Miss having a wife.

I literally had withdrawals after she left!! I too miss the companionship of being married. Having someone else to do things (or do nothing) with.
