[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so afraid of being alone?   It's just plain weird. [/quote]

Have you ever really, truly lived and been alone for any kind of significant time? I honestly doubt it.

I was "alone" for a decade and it can be amazing, so liberating but when you are ill its terrible and when there is only a future with the person in the mirror its disheartening.

[b]Also I expect for people who have been married for decades, they miss the camaraderie. How can you not be empathetic to this?[/b]

I agree. I have spent a lot of time alone and I was fine with it for the most part, but for someone who spent their entire adult life coupled, particularly happily coupled, I can completely understand why they wouldn't relish being alone and would want to find happy companionship again.[/quote]

Also, if their marriage was fulfilling and vibrant, chances are, they want to marry again.  If it was just a "business decision" - chances are, they won't marry again, because they think that their next relationship will be the same. [/quote]
