 If I'm honest with you, I don't think that 2 people being together for a VERY long period of time is "Normal", like being married for life. It takes a PHENOMENAL amount of patience, something which I'm lacking. Being faithful is not a problem, I have never and would never cheat on a partner, I have very strong views on that. I just struggle being with someone for extended periods of time. I'm a few years off 50 and have never been married and I very much enjoy my own company. I do miss the company of a good woman occasionally for having a nice meal in a restaurant with and the obvious other thing😂! But on balance, I'm pretty sure that things just wouldn't work out long term, that's why I just prefer to remain single these days.
