I definitely am. Because of the way my husband of 17 years ended our marriage I now have all these TRUST ISSUES I never had before. I seriously do not want to start a new relationship while dragging old baggage. It may take me a while to get that sorted out.

Starting over for me, there are around 7 billion people on this planet, half of them are of the opposite gender, that other half is dateable in my eyes, maybe not everyone but that's 3 and a half billion females in my case. Somewhere out there is a mate for me exists! Never give up the search someone is out there waiting for you to show up in there life and you will know when they come along!

Not scared. Just wish the right person would come along so I can stop this dance. It was fun in the twenties thirties and forties it's not fun now.

Life is full of start overs. Humans started over leaving Africa many times. Start over.

Not really, I have done it many times before. It is daunting, and I may not want to do it, but fear is not the problem

Yes, but the other options aren't great, are they?

Change is rarely easy and often disconcerting.

Been there and done that quite a few times!!! Some people accuse me of self destruction just so I can experience the uncertainty and fun of starting over 😉

Scared, but not to that degree.

I will get some rebound on this 'Get knocked down 5 times, get up 6.

I've started over so many times, the status quo is what scares me.

I used to get comfortable (and stagnant). Assuming life would plod on and I would be content was my way of life for years. I liked that. Over the past dozen years, I don't know what might happen, but when it happens, I adapt. Being homeless, jobless, knowing no one, or any combination, I dive in and find out that I can swim.

Sometimes I relish the challenge even after finding a good job and a home.

I wouldn't phrase it quite that way, for me its about losing the ability to trust and then either not wanting to try and over come that or not being able to, not sure which it is.

I have before and even though I’m much older I would do it again. Life is what it is. I’m not ready to give up yet.

Not at all.
nothing like more than learning something new.
And starting a new relationship is learning something new.
JMHO.

I kinda had no choice - but in the end I am glad I did.
