Personally myself, no I don't think that I could do it. But I certainly think that it can be done. I feel that as long as you have love in your heart and are a calm person, this would be something that would be totally achievable!

I'm 39 years old, has never been married. I like my single life so much. My mom and my other relatives are already pushing me to get married. I have several guys visiting me and getting my attention. Some would even broach the topic of marriage. I don't know why I don't want to get attached yet. I just think that I'm not cut out to live with someone romantically. I think this is individual difference working here. Women aren't all the same. I'm afraid that if I give in to others (like get married now), I may not be happy. I am entertaining the thought of having a child but not at this time. I'm happy just the way it is right now.

Yes you can, we are all born as single and we must all be happy woth ourselves and when you see a lot of married couples today, they are only together because financialy it is better to stay together or for the kids, or maybe because they are afraid to to travel along the road of life alone, but being alone sets you free to take on whatever or whomever you want....

i can live my life with out a partner. i love being alone. i've been single for almost 4 years now and i've never been happier. less stress less hasle. i love to be able to do what i want when i want. i'm too stubourn and strong to get along with someone. i like my space and get annoyed well people get in my way too much. i have a daughter and i love spending all my time with her. i have dated one person for a month in the last 4 years but i found it was taking time away from my duaghter and i wanted to enjoy my daughter more than dating.

I don't think I could grow old without a partner. I get too lonely without someone. I spent a year without someone between my ex husband and my husband now and it about killed me. I don't like sleeping alone. It gets too quiet and I watch weird things at night that would make me have nightmares. Growing old without someone to me is just sad and I hate to see it happen to anymore. I don't have kids so if I had a child, it may be different.

Before I met and fell in love with my partner I could have lived without one, but now that I have found the love of my life, not only could I not live without a partner, I could not live without HIM! He's the only one I will ever want to be with during my lifetime.

I can't grow old without my husband and I can't grow old without a child..=O I am accustomed to him sleeping beside me and I find it hard to sleep w/o him beside me.
