I know myself. And I know that I have come to somehow prefer being off the trail. I still feel the pang from time to time, make no mistake about that. I know that I would have liked having family. But life's experiences have put me in a mood to be on my own. My health has given me more motivation to stay aloof, as well.

All right if that is what you want or do not want. Look deep and see what prevails. You do not have to tell it publicly if you do not want to...
I have come across youtube reportages/videos about interabled couples, as they call them, with people in a hard to imagine conditions/illnesses, getting married and enjoying life to the max. It was moving to see that. And insipiring.

I do not remember them cooking, but certainly food was involved, some were not able to eat but be fed, I might have focused on the other perspectives...

" I still feel the pang from time to time, make no mistake about that."

I can sympathise. Being plug ugly and a massive nerd/geek I was very lonely (for female companionship) in my teens/early twenties. I had resigned myself to being the 'bachelor uncle' just like in Swallows and Amazons. I didn't have a girlfriend till my mid to late twenties. Then, sudden of an all, it all worked out ok.

I was painfully shy for most of my life. When I would try at a relationship, I realize now I was trying to hard, which doesn’t exactly put the other person at ease. I didn’t meet the woman ended up marrying till I turned 32, and I wasn’t even remotely thinking of meeting somebody that day. That definitely helps me relax more than I would have if it were more more formal, arranged thing. I definitely blew up more than one potentially good situation by being nervous.

But, what really matters is that you are OK with your situation. There is absolutely no reason to feel any pressure to get into a relationship because you think this is what people expect from you.

Nice cake. On our anniversaries, my ex-wife baked a cake. I bought diamonds and sapphires. We each had our own role to play -- 50/50 split, right?
