I'm wondering, because people I've known in all my years say they're meant to be single, then they've suddenly met someone shortly after the declaration. But, I have never felt like any relationship was the one, even the shy-of-a-decade marriage that ended a while ago...I've been single for three years now and haven't dated in that time, haven't wanted to as I worked on myself.
I wonder if maybe I'm just not meant to be with anyone in this life! Even my dreams for after the kids graduate and move on with their own lives are me doing things alone.
I'm just becoming quite lonely lately, sometimes painfully so, and wonder if all the failed relationships at different points of learning and life just mean that I'm destined to make this a happy life with my perfect partner...myself :p (joke)!
Does anyone know anyone who is happily living a life alone? And what they've said about it in regards to their choice?

taurmel - I know of people who feel that they will only have one true love in this life and it was or is with their soul mate, partner, spouse. If one dies first it is often the case that the other remaining spouse chooses to remain in an isolated life by him or herself. That's not to say it's a life without loneliness, but some people just can't imagine anyone on earth replacing their beloved and so they endure the loneliness.
You've been married before so is it your decision to not put yourself out there and date and take the chance on falling in love again?
I know if it were me, I would finish life in solitude, hoping that my son would check in with me now and then. But I can't imagine spending a whole lifetime with a very special soulmate, only to just bring another mate into everything we (my spouse and I) built together over many years. I'd rather go it alone. That's not to say that some people are suppose to be alone in life, but life circumstances always come into play.
