Oh, I first read this as Gargantuan Soulmates and got a little worried about you.

...but these guys all want to relocate to Canada.
Be very very careful, Veronika. A common scam is to pretend the above, chat online, over the phone, get you charmed and "hooked", and then tell you that he's coming, except he needs $xxx for the plane ticket. Or some variation thereof. A prince charming who just happens to be ruined may not be what he seems.

I dunno.. if I was a Swiss Investment Banker, I'd be looking to get out of Dodge about now..   >:D

Seriously though, yes.. any guy who throws that out there in their first message isn't on the level..

The title here just cannot be denied.  I was conceived and born in the forties, so the fifties was too late for me.  As Mtlouie is fond of saying, your mileage may vary.

'Thanks for sharing so much of your life Veronica....that is a special thing and not many are capable or have the courage.  Hat tip.

I met my wife on an archaeological excavation in Texas in my mid fifties.  She was the woman I should have married thirty years ago!  And yes, like you I have had multiple partners.  At some point I just stopped looking (love fatigue) and decided I was better off being single.  I was single for about three years and it was a great time of self examination and discovery.....work that should have been done many years ago.  Anyway, when I quit seeking I began to relax and just concern myself with making good friends.  Finding and making good friends is often more rewarding than romantic relationships, especially as we grow older.

So, after living together for about five years we married.  This was after we built a home and I retired.  We constructed something together far more than this property and that was the key for a good relationship, at least for us.  Build something together Veronika.  If a man won't do that kick him to the curb and find someone who will.

I am a healer and have been one for several years.  Do something for yourself every day when you wake.  Stand in front of the mirror and say, "I am a unique woman child of the universe. There is no one like me.  I deserve all the love that I am capable of receiving and I deserve absolutely no abuse whatsoever. "  Do this everyday and it will make a difference.  'And, as someone said, find out exactly who you are.  The only way you can do that is to be alone for a time.  It is scary to be alone, and self examination is damn hard work,  but you have plenty of courage to do this.

Oh, and before I forget, we all need love and affection at any age.  Needing to be loved, validated, encouraged and treasured is part of being a human being.  It makes us stronger.

So, sweet woman of the universe, May the sweet spirits bring you great strength and may you discover the love that is waiting. Peace to your hearth.

Are you a Mormon, or influenced by that cult?  Therein might lie your problem.  I personally believe it is okay to explore your sexuality with others, and you do not have to be "in love" every time.  The only criteria I believe in is that you like each other.  Sex with strangers is a no win situation.  It's just sex.  We humans are capable of being better than that.  OTOH, we don't have to "know" we're in love with someone to enjoy a sexual communion.  I just think it's important to know someone long enough to like who they are.  Then it's the best.   ;)

You are trying too hard.  Lighten up and enjoy your life, eh?  Stop looking for husbands, just look for good folk.

And for an entertaining (if a bit depressing) take on cyber-dating and relationshiprecks (yup, it's a new word I just made up), watch Burn After Reading (2008), a recent Coen brothers film. Perhaps not their best, but fun, in their traditionally screwed up way.

I like the new word.  This kind of wordsmithing has growth potential.
A friend has a small collection of autoantonyms, another curious area.  An example is secrete, meaning both to hide away and put out into the open.

Thanks, it happened pretty much all by itself, subliminally. I have never heard of autoantonyms. Interesting and a-musing.

Yes, and hard to find.  Anyway, I ran that word you coined past my wife.  She immediately thought I was trying to tell her something, heh.   
Imagine me trying to explain, 'No, no, it was just this guy on the internet playing with words and this was one he came up with.'  Sigh.
