re: If you didn't have your wife (or don't have one) would you be happy being a loner?

I love having my family. I would be pretty devastated to lose them. If I was to end up alone, I wouldn’t want to start over again.

with all the dating apps and OF content creators that are always asking for collab partners, yes

I’m overall content. I have two dogs to tend to.

I tried it. It was fun. I wasn't happy. I wouldn't trade my family for anything.

I’m alone and as the days pass, it seems like it will be forever. I’m fricking miserable, just praying I die when I go to sleep. Thing is I don’t think I want a family. Just doing the bare minimum is too much for me.

I wish I had a family but I know I haven't dated anyone I would start a family with. All of those women would have been a disaster. My current relationship is semi-long distance and works for both of us until she moves back. At 37 she is the oldest I have dated and it is a huge difference

I didn’t get married until I was 30,married a young widow with 2 kids.It was a tough adjustment as I was used to being alone quite a bit in my off time.Work was as an ICU nurse so I got more than enough contact with a bunch of people 40 hours a week.
I tried to get the kids interested in hunting and fishing but they weren’t interested.
Thank goodness my wife is not the clingy,dependent type that didn’t mind me fishing and hunting and having a pack of beagles.
Been married 43 years and it would be tough to be single again.
We do things together but she has hobbies on her own and I have mine.
I would hate being single again,I hope I die before her.

True happiness is found in the happiness of a child. I really believe that, and I hope you find peace one day.

If something happened (God forbid) to my wife, I'd be a loner for sure. GRT and nurse would visit every couple of weeks, but I'd pretty much travel and stay at home.

then something would also have to happen to MrGRT and Mrtn - then that may look like a murder investigation Posted on 3/19/24 at 10:09 pm to OWLFAN86

I liked being single but then all my friends were too and we would all hang out.
Without my wife, my friends are all settled down as well so I’d be doing things I enjoy either alone or around people much younger than me. Would feel weird and depressing tbh

Does not having a wife make someone a loner? Part of the reason I left the dirty south was that I felt like I was one of the only single people by my late 20's, now here I am in my late 30's surrounded by many people not married and without children. I still struggle with commitment and have never been super drawn to marriage and kids, but as the clock ticks I question it more and more. I don't have a wife, but I have a large social network, hobbies that keep me young, and enough fulfillment from life as a whole to not look at that as a requirement to not be lonely

Brother Man, my life is the exact opposite or close, and I couldn’t possibly think of one bad thought from reading your post. Seems really cool.
There will always be doubts (which can fester into regret) about life choices, plain and simple no matter the choices or outcomes.
With the right mind (God/Christ does it for me, also therapy, meditation, microdosing) the doubts just become like reassurances of how and why you did things. At peace.
With the wrong mind (dark, negative, Antichrist, nihilistic) doubt becomes permanent regret that stains your soul and every day of your life, filled with anger and toxicity.

There are very few people on this earth that will truly love you, if you’re lucky. Your parents, your kids, your wife, and maybe a handful of friends and other family members.
Without a wife and kids, you’re severely diminishing that potential.
