(355 posts)We are in our 50's and we stayed here in our town because of my husband's parents who always had several health concerns. He wanted to help them. They're now deceased and we don't have any ties except for my family but they don't need us like his parents did.
We don't attend church so there really is no socializing for us, but that's okay as I'm a loner anyway. He works and travels so he escapes that way. I work online and have several boards I participate in so it's not like I work with the people around me. My neighbor is a liberal so I do have that. We are thinking about getting an apartment in the city sometime this next year and see if we like it.
To be honest, I am really tired. I have defended Obama and had to listen to shit when I put our Hillary sign up. Around here, they think people who would vote for a Democrat are 1) on welfare and don't want to work, or 2) godless, or 3) ignorant. I might be a bit godless, but to even argue that morality can exist outside of religion would be over their heads. If I tried, I would be labeled as an educated elitist. I am just so ready to say "fuck you all."
