I love quiet just about as much as anything.
No crowds or large groups, no blasting music, no telephone calls, no pestering people I’m all for.
There are so many nuances to the ability to adjust. I’ve been married to one lady for 46 years. We own animals so we vacation (fishing trip, grand kid visit, etc) ocasionly separately. A temporary issue, loss of a spouse is a totally different situation, a terrible situation. I love truly quiet times, but not in a permeant sense. Coping is a personal thing, we all have it to do.
