Cursed to be Single for the rest of my life…?

24/7 of the week I am surrounded by tiny wee smiles in cute fittings with their nonstop demands for attention and cuddles. Oh their so adorable… I can’t help wishing for one of my own again. My boys love their wee cousins, its’ just overwhelming to watch them play big brother. I wonder how they’d feel about a baby brother or sister of their own… I bet they’d love it.

It’s true that I want to have another baby. Motherhood is such a wonderful feeling… its fascinating how the hormonal changes bring out a woman’s most hidden beauty to perfection. But I’m not sure if I’m willing to give up my single lifestyle. The thought of sharing my life with someone again gives me the creeps.

In all the years of my singleton I haven’t met any man worthy of my affection, enough to consider marriage. For me, it’s important to feel that I belong to him before I make a commitment. But none’s been able to trigger that in me yet. I know men find me attractive and it’s easy for them to fall in love with me… but for me it’s just not happening.

Am I never to fall in love? Is it a curse? Am I cursed to be single for the rest of my life…?
