My few close friendships, my dog, my (young adult) kids, traveling, fixing up my backyard garden, trying new recipes, and attending workshops at my local Buddhist temple. I had all of these things when I was married, though, with the exception of the workshops at the Buddhist temple. Having a meaningful and fulfilling life was never dependent on my ex. I'm 53, and I haven't been single since I was in my mid 20's. This feels different, and I like it. I don't want to marry again, but unlike the OP I would never say "never". I probably should have clarified that.

I'm newly divorced and I'm pretty sure that I want a partner again but I don't want the law involved.

Had a pretty amicable divorce and even that was a ton of effort and too much money.

I need companionship. I understand that I may very well die alone anyway! But someone to talk to and feel affection for will make most of my days more interesting and enjoyable.

Hmm. Did I just describe a pet?

Not officially divorced but legally separated for 8 years with an young adult DD, and I have no interest in marrying again. I am dating and I still find it hard to call my « friend » a « boyfriend ». I have no interest in living with someone again or being someone’s stepmom. I am not sure why people are so scared to be alone.

I do want a partner but i don't want to remarry. I think marriage encourages laziness in relationships.

Probably me. Marriage doesn’t guarantee not being lonely or dying alone.

Am I an outlier? I've gotten a few funny reactions from people when I say I have no desire to have a partner and definitely will not marry again. "But do you want to die alone?" Honey, I could be married and die alone anyway.
