Have you spent more time in your life as a single person? Or ‘attached’ in some way? And would you change it?

When I actually think about it, the majority of my life I have spent as one half of a couple. In all my 50-some years I can count on my fingers, the years I’ve spent single.

@Torsten Do you hold out hope that the right person could change that for you in the future? Or are you content to stay single forever? (Not saying one way is right or wrong, just curious…or nosy!)

@ImpeccablyImperfect nah it honestly isn't a priority in my life right now. I was engaged and had a child. We split when he was 2 years old and I have never wanted him to have to deal with random people that i may be dating in and out of his life not while he is a kid anyway and living with me.
I have had intimate nights and whatever with people but no real relationship for a fair while because my son is my only priority.
When he gets older and doing his own thing, Things might change and I will be more open to another relationship. Who knows.
