What kinds of things do divorced women of a certain age look for in relationships?

Over here Coloma writes, “most men in my age bracket fall into two categories, the mid-life players and the mid-life divorced and desperate for a woman to marry/live with.”

She continues on to say that, “once I was really clear that neither re-marriage or cohabitation is of interest to me I had to decide if I wanted to just have some sort of weekend relationship and the answer is a resounding no! Most men in my generation want to be cared for by a woman, most are incredibly insecure, and I love my space, my own time, far too much to compromise one little bit.”

This answer was followed by one from several other divorced women, most of whom had complaints. It made me wonder what these women would like in a relationship. What are the options? Is a weekend relationship a “player” thing?” What if it happened over multiple weekends? Do you desire exclusivity even if you don’t want to live together? What do you think a fulfilling relationship at this point in your life would look like?
