Ironic- i was very much like your son and I was more than content to stay single. I enjoyed being single as i was very comfortable by myself. I finally met someone by chance and got married when i was 37

I'm glad you met someone you wanted to marry. The last girl my son lived with, the relationship lasted 8 years. She actually met someone while they were still living together, came home and told my son she was moving out. He was a bit shell-shocked, but eventually got over it. I never held it against her, because she had a right to the life she felt she wanted. My son tried to date again, but decided he wasn't interested in it.

His last girlfriend's parents were very nice. During the years they were living together, they invited me for Christmas and Easter dinners with their family. The girl's mother passed from cancer in 2011, a few days before my sister did of cancer as well. I went to see her mother at the hospital. She was comatose by then. She was a very sweet woman who I thought a lot of. His old girlfriend was there with her new boyfriend. She eventually married him, had a little girl, and they moved to Texas. I hope she is happy in the life she chose.
