Dangerous ground there Ratter!!
I'm fine on my own when I have to be, except i'm never really on my own! Hubby can be away for 4-5 days at a time, never usually more than a week (volcanoes and flight restrictions not withstanding!) I have my doggies, and friends, besides which, you're more than a phone call away from anybody. But I do understand what you mean about some women, who will be in a relationship, ANY kind of relationship rather than having no man at all, and it's ridiculous when they'd be far happier on their own if they but know it.
