Hello Friends,
I have struggled with the hole in my life that was left by my wife who is unable to be a normal wife or even a normal woman. Maybe I should consider asking a woman to be a friend, not a companion, not a lover just a woman to share things and receive a feminine point of view. Even during my married life, I had women friends who provided that element in my life. Maybe it is because I was raised by my mother and grandmother(s) that I had become accustomed to a woman's view in life. I played some football and baseball and was a good soldier so I do not deny my masculinity. Was married three times have two children and married for 39 years to my current wife.
I had worked with several women as peers on the job and as some as my superiors, and got along without prejudice. I may be in touch with some female things I sewed, cooked, was a single parent, did laundry, and cleaned house all the things women did typically in my parents' generation. So maybe I have enough in common with a woman to maintain a platonic relationship and I may miss this aspect; The aspect missing because of my wife's illness and why I feel this need that hitherto I didn't recognize.
