I want to live a long life, but I don’t want to end up alone. im already getting lonely living by myself. im not sure I want to outlive my brother and sisters. if I don’t have much contact with them in my later years I will probably be depressed. what do you think is worst? dying early? or being alone in your last years?

I’d like to die early as soon as my kids are independent. I don’t think I’ll live long enough to see grandkids.
Who knows? I might live long and prosper.

I didn’t know you had kids. good for you.
I have them in mind, don’t have them yet. Should say future kids.

me too. I was thinking of trying but don’t know that I would be a good father. also the meds are affecting my ejaculation, I think I would have to go off them to get a girl pregnant.
one thing that troubles is me, is my age, I might not even make it till their 40th birthday. I should have had kids in my 20’s when I was in a relationship but my girlfriend was on the pill. I regret condoning contraceptives back then. it would have been good for me to get some girl pregnant and go to work to support them. would have ended my drinking too. instead of having a wasted decade filled with drinking and quitting jobs. tmi probably.

I so much want to go first. In 3 years all my kids will be adults. So I’d really like to go in about 10 years when they can live without me. My parents could outlive me. They are in their 80s now and in perfect health. I really want to go first.

that’s sad @FatMama. you add so much to the forum, you would be missed here and surely with your family.

I outlived my only child. I always thought I would be miserable if that happened, but it turns out that I’m alone and happy in my old age.

I’m old (75) and in a group home that is somewhat like family. But I don’t like the idea of outliving my sister. She is 77.
I’ve told my brother which book to read to me and to put nicotine gum in my IV. I’ve let them know not to keep me alive if I’m in bad shape.
I Don’t want to be alone with strange nurses who don’t and won’t know me. People in my family tend tto quit eating…
I have a long histore of being taken care of
Oh @FatMama you are too young to think like that. I really hope your conditions improve, you are a real joy to hear from.

The word “alone” has never really been in my vocabulary…I’ve always just been “by myself”. Even the word alone sounds lonely. I’m very independent and I’ve always done very well by myself and its not because I’m not attractive or anything…I just view relationships different than everyone else. Plus, I have all my dogs so I’d never really be alone anyway.
I’m the only child and only grandchild, someday I’ll be the last of my family. It’s hard to face, specially while I watch my family age. I wish it wasn’t this way, but it’s my lot. The best I can do is to make sure their last years are happy
I don’t mind being alone. I’d take that any day of the week.
Might not be fun but someone will bury me…well burn me because it’s cheaper and that would be cool.
I used to worry about lightness and weight and that Nietchian dilemma! I used to be weighted down by life but nowadays I’m lightness. I have no progeny. I do have some great memories I’ve made with family and friends and being known as a nice cat loving person will be good enough for me.
I like life. I’d hang on as long as I could!
being married and living to be old sounds like the worst option. i hope i die young and alone. It’s like you never met anyone.
