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.

Same here I was half of a couple for over forty years.

It's hard to say if I would change it because one change would probably cause many others. If I hadn't met my wife then some of the decisions we made in the 1970s and 1980s would surely have been very different. Perhaps I never would have had the opportunity to move to another country because that opportunity came about as a direct result of the geographical locations of our two families. Then my career would have been different.
