Hello, I am 47 divorced female for close to 20 years, I have an interest in dating some, and being sexually active, however I really don't have a desire to ever be married again. I'm wondering if this is something that is normal? I am happy, (except for the stress of bills) I love my activities. The recent man I have dated, I don't even think about a relationship with him because I love just my time being about me or my family. Sounds selfish, and I think it can leave an impression that I just want to be a "booty-call". I don't feel its a problem, but I want to be sure I'm not in denial of some sort of problem.

Hey Guest315,
Why do you think that your situation is 'abnormal'? Have you felt pressure to be in a relationship, from others perhaps?
I absolutely think your situation is normal- you have had the experience of marriage- of being in a commited relationship and it didn't work out. From the transition from 'couple' to 'single-47 year old woman', you re-evaluated your priorties and your family and being 'You' comes before a relationship. Absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, whatsoever!
There are a lot of woman in your situation- myself included. Don't feel you need to analyse it. Sex is a natural urge- we don't stop wanting it because we don't want to be in a stable relationship. You've found something that works; you have a 'friends-with-benefits' and you can still prioritise yourself and your family- well done, enjoy it!
Trust yourself- you're not repressing anything. I'm sure that if the time & person is right, you may change your mind. Perhaps when you've had your 'Me' time. But for now, if you are happy with your life, there is no reason to be worried about having your cake & eating it!
Best wishes & Go Girl!
