I'm alone, too, and have been for the past 25 years, as far as being in a relationship, anyway. I haven't had sex with a woman in this entire 25 years. Truth be told, once I hit 40, I gave up, anyway, as that was the age when I told myself, if I wasn't married by then, or at least in a relationship, and if I didn't have children by then, that was it for me. Sixteen years later, that still holds true. All of my relatives have now died, my mother being the last to go last year, and I find myself utterly and completely alone. I have no friends, either, as they all got married years ago, had children, and even have grandchildren now in some cases, and they all have their own lives. And since I didn't get married or have children, the friendships just faded away. I have no desire anymore to even have a relationship with anyone. My sole focus is on getting some things wrapped up and taking a (relatively) quiet exit out of here, before I have to deal with some health issue all alone, too. No thanks. I can take the hint that life has given me.
