My whole point when I talked about being alone for five minutes was that many people unfortunately scramble to fill the void, even if those relationships don't really hold the promise of anything except having someone around. A string of non-serious relationships seems to support that point more than argue against it. So you equate “living alone” with “being alone”?

I had to go back and look at the paper trail for the exact numbers. 1998-2001 I lived alone after my divorce. 2002-2005 My ex wife lived with me. I have lived alone since 2005. Yes, I have had a few relationships. The longest one lasted three months, I believe. I think the key word on your comment is "Fairly" serious relationship. Tiffany, you are so technical.

In the 15 months or so that I've known you, you've been in two relationships and dated other women. You've talked about at least one other fairly serious relationship while your daughter was living with you as a teenager, which means that it was within the past few years. I'm confused about how that translates to having been "alone for five years". It’s hard to know how to respond when the facts keep changing.
