It's not my thing anymore, I barely have the energy to keep myself going.

IMO, a lot of it has to do with a person's age. As people age their resources shrink. And, while they might want to start new love life they see their future as barren.
What happens when the money runs out and people get sick and require lots of care and maybe even die? If a woman had moved in with guy and he died how will she survive? That may be a main concern for the guy. How long will she be able to take care of the house and herself if there is no one in town to help her?
Things change over time so what made sense as a young person can frighten an older person.

@Diotrephes I'm quite seriously ill/disabled already, for me I know that part of my life is gone forever.

Sorry to hear that. The sand is running out of my hourglass as well but so far I'm not sick or disabled. I have no intention of starting a new relationship because I think it would be unfair to the other person.
