Discussion»Questions»Relationships» Are you often plagued by the fear that you might lose your partner to the "competition" only to get back into a life of dreaded loneliness?
I’ve been single and by myself for so long I dread being in a relationship. I’m not lonely. Some of us are quite content being single and on our own. I dread and become anxious of the whole dating scene.
No way because - Nobody can do the (Shing-a-ling) like I do. Nobody can do the (Skate) like I do. Nobody can do (Boogaloo) like I do. Nobody can do (Philly) like I do Nobody but me. Cheers and happy weekend!
I've never had any such "competition". My wife isn't the kind of woman who would ever make me worry that she'd be gone one day, especially not into the arms of another. Old age and death will most likely be our final chapters. As for the dreaded life of loneliness, if my wife were to precede me in passing, I'm not sure if returning to that life would be complete and utter loneliness. I know I would miss her terribly; I think it's impossible to assume that after being together all these years and then losing her would be easily shaken off. I just know how I am, I would eventually venture to see if "I've still got it". Of course, age, ability and desire play a large part in it.
Sidebar: over the past few years, and on more than one occasion, my wife and I have had the discussion "What would you do if I died, would you remarry?" Both of us answered in the probably not category (but for different reasons).
