DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-year-old divorcee. I have been divorced for three years and have found it very difficult to find "Mr. Right." About eight months ago, I was introduced to someone I thought was perfect. He is 30 years old, has never been married -- no children -- and is very set in his ways. He doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs.
However, he does keep me up all night. He snores, grinds his teeth and makes all kinds of funky noises in his sleep. Also, I find him very needy and clingy, and sometimes it gets on my nerves.
I want to try to make it work, but then again I don't. I like being with him; however, I would rather live alone and enjoy my life. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I really don't see a long-term future with this man. Frankly, I am bored with the relationship. What should I do? -- CONFUSED IN GEORGIA
DEAR CONFUSED: What you are describing is ambivalence. Before you make any hard and fast decisions, you'd be wise to talk to a counselor to determine whether your feelings might be related to your divorce and/or a fear of commitment. If they're not, let this eligible man go so he can find a woman who appreciates him and can live with his imperfections -- and you can find a man who's closer to your ideal.
