I’ve not been in a serious relationship for 5 years and never want one again.
I love dating and keeping it fun. Finding like minded woman who are independent and not looking for anything serious is plentiful out there.
Serious relationship have always weakened me and have made me unhappy in life.
It’s great to put myself #1 all the time and not worry about compromise.
I know this sounds selfish but it’s kept my priorities from becoming askew and has helped in my sobriety.
Just wanted to share this.

Your post had me think of a, thankfully, short relationship I had while sober, probably more dry than sober, with an addict. I didn't realize in the moment she was/is an addict, till out of it and Monday morning quarterbacking.
Looking back I felt my soberness slip away. I was compromising who i was, my values, and morals. It was a huge mistake. God intervened and sent me on a business trip for 6 months to the other side of the Earth.
It isn't to say I wouldn't like to have a female companion in my life. She's gotta be a great fit to match the speed of where i am. And I have thatch hers. We can differ on things (such as toilet paper roll over or under) and she doesn't have to not drink. She can't be an active user, nor manipulate me to feed her addiction.
