Badger:
      Obviously I would never encourage anyone to get a divorce but if life deals you that hand as it has me I have to say it aint all that bad. I came home tonight and turned on my shower, just a trickle at first to give my pet daddy long legs time to crawl out of the way, I think he has lived in my shower for at least a year now and has a leg spread of close to 4", last time my girl friend came to live with me she killed my pet spider within hours of moving in. After I took my shower I fed my cat, I have to give him 2 cans now because we have a raccoon and an oppussum that come though the doggy door for dinner each night. They usually weight till I am asleep but I often will open my eyes and see them munching away ignoring both me and the cat.
      Whatever project I may be working on will be sitting on my kitchen table when I get home ready for me to work on when I get ready. If I want to go someplace for one day or a week I just go. My house is my man cave. Even cooking is more fun. I can add all the hot sause I want and instead of all those little plastic storage containers I just put the whole pan in the fridge. I was married for twentyfive years and have been single now for 15, the first year was the lonliest of my life, the second I was starting to adjust and by the third year I thought I had died and gone to heaven. If you are in your late forties or fifties don't think for a minute women will be hard to find,
I do think about growing old alone sometimes but maybe that just means I will die peacefully! So if you happen to find yourself in this situation cheer up! It may not be as bad as you think. Steve

Del the cat:
It's a wise man who can appreciate his situation what ever it may be, get on with life and enjoy it.
Man cave, yup...I have to go hide out in the garage

Pappy:
I only get a couple of days a week of that kind of living,when I am at the cabin.Even there she has to come in every few months and clean and straighten,takes me a week or 2 after that to get it back like I like it. ;) :) :) Sounds like you have adjusted good to you situation.  :) :) Sounds like you have no excuse for not coming to TN. and visit sometime. :)

Badger a lot of wisdom has been spoken in your post I only wish mine would leave with another man. There is much to be said for being the only one in the house when you put something down and go look for it it's there and not shoved in some cubby hole if you want to leave you're socks on the coffee table thats o k too.

DCM4:
I didn't marry till I was 27.  Been married 20, kid is 15.  They went to Paris together for two weeks, just got back last Wednesday.  The first night I though I was gonna go crazy.   By the last night I was pretty much into my routine.  On balance I reckon a fellar ought to be able to be happy all by himself, and if so it makes a marriage all that much sweeter, especially if his spouse is similar.  If fate put me in that spot, unlikely as it is, I'd be fine without my family.  But I'd not trade them for nothing, including life itself, if such were offered.
