Older woman here who has a few single older women friends. We're all happy being single and definitely not lonely. We have all been in relationships with men - good and bad - but none of us want to remarry or live with a man again. Even in great relationships like I had with my late husband it can be stifling to live with a man and we definitely do the bulk of the work at home. If he were alive today, I'd still be with my husband, but I definitely don't want to live with or date a man again. I just don't need them and can't be bothered with the drama or making the effort. I'm happy.
