grneyedldy1967, I think you nailed it re: my former friend. The circumstances were right for something to happen, and it did. I appreciate your candid comments, thanks.

Thanks for your candor, sweetestgirl11.

Hi, all. I'm a "newby" here. I'm married. There, I said it. I'm looking for a new gal pal,PERIOD, but I don't know what's going on, since I can't even find myself when I do a search(!). Like I said in my ad, I'm not looking for a new Mrs/Ms Right, and I am NOT looking for a Ms. Right Now (and that includes "FWB"). I had a female friend (over 4 years), but things got "complicated" and now I have only male friends, and after awhile, the testosterone fumes give me a headache, lol (I still have a female friend that I've known for over 20 years now, but she lives in Colorado, with her boyfriend, a real nice guy). Are there problems in my marriage? Yes. Do I want to continue with it? I don't know. As you can see, I'm honest. I'm not looking for a quick fix relationship, as it would be unfair to both of us. I'd just like to know if a man's wedding ring is kryptonite to a single woman, and would scare her off immediately, even if the guy just wants to be friends. Thanks for reading this post.
