I've been single since my divorce in '93.

Really, no complaints.

Yes. Once you get your freedom back, it's hard to give it up again. :P

I was. Happily married now. Thankfully at that time, Internet porn was really starting to make itself known.

Going on 5 years. In my mid 20s that seems like a lot. I'm having lots of fun being single in my 20s. Don't want to be tied down to 1 woman. That's how it is for me.

Yes. the first 16 years of my life.

Then it was the crazy times.

Then I got married 15 years ago.

Best decision I've made yet.

Lots of things can change from your mid 20's to your early 30's......

No, although up to now I don't feel like I've given up my freedom at all. Maybe that's a good sign?

Was single for 14 years after i broke up with fiance (it was that or kill the b!@#$). I was on the road for most of those single years so it wasn't a problem. Been married for 20 years now and could not be happier.

Yes, but I was working on my music degree at the time, so I really didn't notice.

Almost. I went 8.5-ish after my wife left. I stumbled a few times and managed to land on my feet with my gal. She is Wonder Woman to put up with my butt

Was married for 10 years and I've now been divorced for 10. Since the divorce I've had casual girlfriends but no serious relationships. I like it this way.

Ah, glorious freedom!

Finding the right girl means not having to give up your freedom

As to the OP, nope. After leaving my ex-wife I was single for about 5 months. Then I met the woman I just married a little over a month ago.
