A Spouse?

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

In the past I always thought that I would be married and have kids by know. But last year as I turned 40, it really hit me that those expectations were out of sight.

I have been blessed with parents that haven’t burdened me with the pressures of continuing on the family legacy. But I do feel personally responsible for doing just that.

I am the last male heir on both sides of the family. I have cousins in England, but they are without issue and are both quite older than myself. Of my American cousins, I have been advised not to have any contact with them, under any circumstances.

It truly is left to me to see this through. Unfortunately, I have not managed to escape the poverty I was raised in. I am still quite dependent upon all of the government handouts and family assistance, as I was as a child.

In the span of time when I was working productively, I mostly squandered my money on entertainments and, at times, I fell for financial scams. Sobriety and right thinking came late in life.

Throughout, I have barely socialized with others. I lack experience with the fairer sex beyond common encounters within workplace settings.

Of friends, I have only memories from school days passed. My best friend bid this world adieu nearly 13 years ago. He at least had started a family, while I have only myself to speak of.


I suppose I need to get the ball rolling at this point. So, if anyone out there is in the market for a husband, I am available and willing.

A little about me:

  • 40 year old black male (heterosexual),
  • able of body, college graduate (AAS),
  • drive a Nissan LEAF (owned),
  • have some small retirement savings,
  • operate an eBay store ($4-5k annually),
  • live with parents, currently reside in North Carolina,
  • originally from Washington state, and open to relocation.

Note: a prior criminal conviction limits ability to acquire regular employment.
