People talk about growing old with their partners but always leave them for someone younger or healthier so what's the point?

You haven't said how old you are but you sound really cynical.

I would never leave my partner as i love him very much. He is the father of my children and i intend on staying with him till the end. So no i would not like to die young and alone. Anyway if you are young and alone you still have a life ahead of you and may meet someone special, so why die and miss that opportunity?

Ooooouch! I think you have been badly hurt.
I send you my sympathy, it sounds as if you are going through a bad time.
No, I don't think it is better to die young - there is so much in life to enjoy.
When you start to feel better, you will get back in touch with this and realise that you can count your blessings.
Life is often what you make it - you CAN get through this. Life is not just about a partner, after all - but about families, friends, fulfiling work, warm sun, beautiful music.....
Sending you good thoughts.

Trust that peoplel do not ALWAYS leave the other....that is myth #1 shattered. The second or third is not always younger or healthier...that is myth #2 shattered.
IF you take your time, think with your brain as well as your heart, keep your eyes WIDE open, there is no reason NOT to think you will find a life-long partner. IT happens all the time to those who are wise, in no hurry, and can see farther than the nose on their face. You see only the failures of those who rush into things, who marry for "love" that isn't love, who define themselves by their ability to get a mate....all fools who deserve what they get. But again, not everybody is a fool, and many select the proper partner for their life's journey. I will add that IF your friends, your family, your ... whatever's all ask, "what are you doing with that person," alarm bells should be going off loud and clear. All too often, people act in opposite ways to these alarms to prove they know more than anyone about them...they are usually wrong.

Well, I do believe that is much better for a person to die young and alone than to die old and alone.
Anyway, there is always a risk to become lonely, but at old age, it is tough to handle it, so better to go young and healthy.

No, no. You just need to concentrate your energies into something else. There is a lot of life out there that doesn't invlove having a partner. We come into this world alone and we leave it alone. What's wrong with learning to enjoy it alone? There are plenty of others alone too, some of them needy and disabled. There is always someone worse off than you. Perhaps you could donate some of your time to making others feel not so alone and then you will feel good about yourself.

I had been married most of my life, I planned to grow old with my partner just as my parents did with each other, but we have recently divorced, some don't want to be alone and choose to take another partner, for me, time being I am fine being single..I don't feel alone...I prefer to live life one day at a time and look toward many more adventures in the future with or without someone.

Unfortunately, the partners could leave for that younger or healthier someone while you're still thinking things are alright with your marriage, or relationship. It happened to me, so wanting to die young isn't a good solution.

The way I see it is we are not here to dye for no one,it is good to want to spend the rest of your life with someone,but what /i say is its better to die before the person Im with,but I dont have any control of that.So what I do is live my life I dont let love life my life for as much I love a person I understand that love will only go so far.

Well put it this way. If i get to 40 years old and i am alone (bear in mind by then i prob wont have ANY living relatives around)... i agree with dying young and alone.
Morbid but true :(

that depends if you are a pessimist or an optimist.
pessimist- why go through the trouble....
optimist- not every body leaves, and if they do you still got to enjoy some good times or better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all......bitter sweet but still has a lovely flavor... besides have you seen all of the people on yahoo personals? there is someone on there for everyone.keep looking...
