I am reflecting on things after helping my parents celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary. A truly big occasion, especially since my wife had an EA and filed for divorce after 6 years. It soured my view and enthusiasm for a long-term committed relationship for some time.
I have moved on and I've found a good woman who I've been with for a couple of years. I can see a future with this girl, but I also see what fun it is to be single and do what I want.
I see my parents, who are clearly still in love, start to get older and the pains that go with that. I am not sure I want to do it. I know I will get older, slow down and not be able to do the things I enjoy now. That includes things with my partner.
So my question(s) to the older, wiser and more experienced men on the forum: is it worth it? What have you found, after decades with a woman, keeps you there? Do you regret not going around and being on your own? What benefits are there to being with someone all the time when you're in your 60s, 70s and can't do a lot of the things with your partner that you used to?
