After the fizzling-out of my most recent romance I was thinking about strategies for coping with being alone in the long term.
Now, I am not just talking about feeling lonesome. I am talking about the emotional, mental, logistical, financial, etc. issues that come with being alone/living alone for the long term.
Yesterday I was eating a big bite of baked salmon when it, just for a second, got caught in my throat. I could not inhale or exhale. I managed to cough it up. But had I begun to really choke, I could have died as there is no one to help me.
I welcome suggestions from you all about how to deal with the emotional, mental, logistical, financial, etc. issues of being alone long term.
As always: Snark is welcome, but I do want real ideas too!
