Why are you single?

[Been There]

I come with a lot of baggage. It would take a very special type of woman to want to be my partner. I have very serious PTSD and do things at times you may not be able to imagine. I have a friend that lives in Iowa who has issues worse than me, or at least I think he does. He has decided to go the medication route, but he never seems to have any energy. He’s on either 2 or 3 drugs that he takes at different times of the day. I tried the drugs and can’t stand the way they make me feel and behave.

I date, but am careful what we do. No violent movies. I enjoy going to a nice restaurant, taking in a show at one of the theaters in the D.C. area, or if the date has something she enjoys, I usually concede. I like doing different things. I have gone zip lining, bowling, on a hot air balloon ride, gone to a fair, carnivals, family outing (not mine), and so on. Never didn’t enjoy myself. I thought it was great doing so many different things after being in the military for 30 years.

I was very serious about one lady, but she unexpectedly died last July. She had Hodgkin’s when she was just out of high school. They gave her very high doses of radiation and chemo, which weakened her bones and for whatever reason, also her lungs. One night she had an episode of not being able to breathe and died. I’m still mourning that loss. Oh, well.

i carry a bit to much baggage and the women i have been around did not fully realize what they had at hand. to be truthful i am a hugger mugger neck nuzzler, i like holding a female not molesting one exactly just holding on, i fix things, i paint, i will do the dishes, vacuum etc....when i used to back in the day i could still get out of my chair unassisted.
