Wonder if there are ladies out there, maybe also a divorcee or an older single who is willing to be a "life" partner with me? I can't promise marriage but I can supporting us (she and me) financially (normal mid class couple expenditure) till we grow old together. I know there is no black and white binding this relationship and any side of the party can easily end it. Do you think there are people out there who are ok with this? Am I being unrealistic? Any advice, personal experiences are greatly appreciated!

A "marriage" is merely a piece of paper that imposes obligations while offering no benefits whatsoever for the man.
My advice is to enjoy the new found freedom for the time being and avoid making any commitments for a while. If you want sex please patronise our advertisers as they are the ones who help pay the overheads of running this forum.
All relationships meander along a similar path and in the majority of cases become nothing more than a mundane coexistence so expect more of the same as time goes by if you jump headlong into a new relationship. The euphoria of a fresh start may last a couple of years and after that you're back to sqaure one.
