Do you want to spend your golden years all by yourself?

Question

Or have you looked for a mate and they just do not make them the way they use to?

Answer 1

My husband died at 45, just dropped dead of a major heart attack, in front of me in the bedroom. With no warning.

I'd love to get married again, but where on earth do you find anyone. I don't frequent pubs etc. And most of the men our age want women 20 years younger!

Answer 2

I sure didn't want to spend my golden years alone, but that is what it looks like that is going to happen with me. I was married and got a divorce after 18 years of marriage. I have dated and lived with a few since then. Have not found a good one yet. They all wanted to cheat, do drugs, drink, and or had a potty mouth. I have dated some that all they wanted was to just get in the sack...no thank you. I don't think they make the kind of man any more that I was looking for. I don't do the bar scene either nor will I. If he don't come into my life, then it was not meant for me to have a good man in my life.

Answer 3

I have never minded being alone, so being alone in my golden years doesnt bother me at all. I do have a room mate, but we dont share the same bedroom. He goes his way and I go mine. It's only for financial reasons. I still have 3 out of 4 children that talk to me and seem to like me, so I spend time with all of them and their children. I can honestly say I have never been lonely and I hope I never am. Periodically I think about another mate, but I dont think for very long. That botox stuff is really expensive.

Answer 4

I remarried 16 years ago to a wonderful, wonderful man. He is as opposite as can be from my first husband. I'm happy that some men are not the way they used to be. I am thankful every day for sharing my golden years with someone I love more than anything in this world - including Dairy Queen and chocolate!

Answer 5

I am never alone regardless of the fact that I don't have a mate. However I do not want to spend the golden years doing someone elses dirty laundry or cooking and doing dishes for them. I want and love my freedom and intend to enjoy it until the day that I die. Not everybody finds being chained to someone else a delight. Different strokes for different folks, dear.

Answer 6

NO. But I had a wonderful marriage of 33 years and my husband died of a brain tumor at age 69.Now all I have is a gentleman that takes care of my farm and lives in a trailer on my place. I still live alone.We usuallly eat dinner together, but it isn't the same. Perhaps this is as good as it gets.My children live out of state but we visit his grandchilkdren sometimes.He works during the day becuse he is not retired yet.

Answer 7

I don't want to grow old alone. I think most people want a mate, partner,or friend to be with. I am 55 and living alone right now. I don't plan on it lasting too long. It isn't a sexual thing, it is companionship, love, hugs,dinner together, taking a walk, bitching to each other, sometimes about each other. For now I am dating, and if the right woman comes along I will grab her forever.

Answer 8

My husband and I have made this promise to each other that we definitely would grow old together, no matter what. If the good Lord should call him before me, then that will be the time I would say I have to spend my golden years all by myself.

Answer 9

Well, I am married but, if something were to happen to him, I would NEVER remarry! I will repeat...NEVER! It is not because I've had a bad marriage...it is because I have never been allowed to be just Gail. I've either been daughter, wife, mommy, grandmom and so forth! I would love the chance to just be me and not have to consider everything and everyone every time I make a move!

So, I suppose, I would spend my Golden years alone if something happened to hubby!

Answer 10

I have a mate..but if I didn't I still wouldn't let myself be alone..there's too many places to see and people who are in the same boat and want to go places and do things together.
