Is it possible to be all alone your entire life? The old and age and all? Without marriage and dating and no significant other? It will be sad but is it possible?
I am 60 years old, and I have not dated for the past 11 years. I grew to love my independence and privacy. Doing what I want when I want, how I want, going where I want and so on and so forth without the hassle/trouble of trying to make a woman to feel okay with my decision or seeking their approval to do so.
I have had my career married divorced raised my kids by myself. Now it is the exact place and time for me to focus on taking care of myself and realizing all my dreams and goals without the relationship hassle, baggage, or troubles.
Having a living breathing human being in my life now would only interfere with my life honestly.
And if you're going to throw that in valid care stuff at me, I have done well enough where I would pay a live in-home health aid to live with me. I do not want nor need the emotional mess of a relationship to curtail my happiness. But good luck to you that can't live alone.
It happens often. My aunt lived to the age of 92, and until she came to live near us, she had never been close to a modern family unit. She was totally fascinated by family dynamics, such as how I filled the roles of son, father, husband, grandfather, and so forth. I'm glad her last seven years were not lonely ones.
It isn't sad if you never knew what it was or tried it, like death it is only sad to the people looking at it. For you, lots of money, no commitments, nobody to answer to, do whatever you want. It's the dream of every married guy. ;)
