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

No way in hell. As a man with a wife and toddler, I value my quiet time and ever the occasional business trip...but that gets old quick. I can't imagine how empty it would feel to accomplish something and not have someone to come home and share it with, and I can't imagine life without my little boy and the joy it's brought me seeing him learn and grow.

Divorced in 1995 and haven't put the toilet seat down since then.
The peace and quiet have been priceless.

My wife is awesome so I would not be as happy without her. I do enjoy being alone at times and so does she so, even though we value and appreciate the relationship we have, we aren't attached at the hip.
But I did not spend all my time alone before her. I like the company of women and most especially enjoy the physical intimacy that only a woman can provide.

No doubt Id be happy being alone at this point in my life.
Other stages, no way. Now, I think this is the route I'd take if I lost my wife. There is no way I'd even consider re-entering the dating ring.
Women who want to do this at 40 are setting themselves up for failure. Youve had 40 years of your way and you want to get married where you have to give and take? Yea right.
Bitches are a tickle crazy, unrealistic and sometimes just downright moronic.

I've always been comfortable being alone. I've got this farm and shop to keep me busy. If I lost my wife (who is a hot angel, no pics) I would not seek another full time relationship.
I do occasionally get the itch (still, at 62) to go out, listen to live music, dance, drink, see friends, etc. Once every couple of weeks would probably do it for me.
I'm sure I'd get showered with attention from the single ladies in our friend group. But I would not get involved.
Hell, I got it made now. Wife works nights as a nurse, so a few nights a week I'm on my own. Like this past weekend. People were texting me, come out and celebrate SPD. I declined, sipped some bourbon and some good wine and lit a cigar out by the fire barrel. All by myself.

I’m good with being a loner for about three days. Then I start missing my wife and son terribly. He’s a blast to play with (2 year old) and she is a great woman.

I've been single for a long time now and am perfectly content. I hang out with friends, on occasion, spend time with family when they visit, travel whenever I want, etc.
At my age and for as long as I've been single, I honestly don't think I could live with anyone full-time.

Family is everything to me. I had my early 20’s to be single and alone. Now I’m the leader of my own pack and teaching my kids how to be good humans.
Yes I’m tired AF and don’t get to party, but at least I’m actually contributing something to society.

Been married going on 23 years. I think about this a lot.
I could probably do the hermit route as long as I got to see my kids and future grandkids regularly. I'd be happy as a loner, but would still require the occasional female for amorous congress.Posted on 3/19/24 at 1:20 pm to Thundercles
It depends on the place, somewhere like NYC you can be alone without being lonely.
I’m inherently a loner, but my wife and small son make my life infinitely better.

If you are in shape, have a good career, and a big dick you will never be a loaner. You will always have someone ready and willing.

For me to not have one would mean to lose the one I currently have, which would suck.
That said, generally speaking and within the parameters of your question, as long as I had books, music and a functioning Blu-ray player, I could pretty easily live a solitary life.

I never thought of myself as someone who "needed" a wife, but now that I've got one and two kids, I couldn't imagine my life without them and don't want to.

I have zero fear of being alone. I’m fortunate to be retired and go to my camp for weeks by myself. I enjoy the things my wife and I do together as well. But by no measure will this 63 yo every be craving the need for companionship.

I could definitely do it for up to 6 months if the location were, say, in the mountains near a river, or on the coast. Idk about forever, but a few months in the outdoors sounds nice. Like people who through hike the Appalachian Trail.

Mrs. Tantal is terminally ill (cancer). She's 46 and only has a 50/50 shot of seeing 47. Maybe a 5% chance of seeing 48. Knowing that I'm going to be a widower in the next 2 years (at 52), I've actually given this a lot of thought. I won't ever remarry or have a long-term romantic relationship with another woman. Mrs. Tantal is beyond amazing and anything else would be a downgrade. I also like my peace and my money too much to squander either of them on a bitchy old woman looking for a bailout. Worst case scenario is flying to the Philippines, Thailand, or Central/South America for $40 boom-boom.
