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

Was married but no longer. Now older I don’t really want anyone around all the time, setting my schedule, keeping me busy, telling me what to do and when to do it. I enjoy my time with family and friends without having to “babysit” and monitor another person. I enjoy coming and going as I please and with who I please. I like getting things I want without having to check with someone else first.

I enjoy watching as much sports as possible without having to suffer through a Hallmark or Lifetime program. I enjoy participating in my hobbies and pastimes without being monitored or criticized. I love going to bed and getting up when I want, not being awakened by someone else’s snoring, body temperature changes or sudden movements. I love heading out somewhere without having to wait on another person. I enjoy having a meal of my choice without having to go through a list of choices.

And I enjoy female companionship at a time and length of my choosing.

Edit - I actually have 2 tv's setup in my living area that no one complains about.
