*r.Insignificant's profile:

I am a 37 yo male. I was married for 6 1/2 years before I finally fessed up and admitted that I wasn't in love with my wife (she is an exceptional woman by the way and there is nothing bad to be said about her!).

I have been divorced for 3 1/2 years now and try to live a much simpler life. I am single by choice and not looking for a relationship, or a fling for that matter! :)

I do not have any children but have paid for the abortion of my first child. My second child died 3 years ago. Yes, I am heartbroken but I am not broken altogether.

I have been very selfish in my life but through God I am trying to live with more humility and humbleness. I am assured by God that the best days of my life are ahead of me and for that I am grateful.

I try to live my life everyday according to the following motto:

One should never put themselves in a position to take from someone else.
