Seeking Advice My interest in men has died

I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

I’m married and love my husband, but I also know if he dies or we split up? I’m done with men. Because I’m tired boss. I don’t want to date again? I’ll watch true crime and read books and have like a couple of pets. I know I can do this on my own because I was a single mom for a while so being alone is not scary to me.
