Anyone who has read my stories on Medium knows I "think" I hate my single life. It's been 7 years and I'm 68, so my circumstances are not unique. But, so many men expect a woman to leave her life behind and join him. That's not fair; compromise has often sounded like it was not on the table. There is so much to consider when giving up your singleness, especially when you are older and are more set in your ways. Men seem not to want to make any changes. I won't settle, so finding the right man is more difficult.
