I was single for 10 yrs between my first and second marriage. My second marriage is now over after only 4 yrs. I'm 52 and for now looking forward to being on my own. I really don't know if in the future I'll be open to another romantic relationship with a man. I don't know if I'll ever be open to another marriage. But I am sure that I have to end my second marriage to save myself from the effects of his alcoholism. Whatever the future holds for me, it will not be a sad and angry life with an alcoholic.
