                Solo is cool now, it has only taken me 6 years to accept it but now I can't imagine sharing my space full time. I did it for 3 days last weekend and I hated it.

                oh no he is. He is away for a time and so I am living a different life  for a while.  At this time it is me who waits  but I don't  mind

                Azur, you make it sound as if your significant other is not very significant right now.   You are fortunate that you have one that is willing to wait patiently for you until you have time for him.

                thank you.  I think allowing each other to be ourselves is very  healthy and increases our regard for each other. Neither of us feels  threatened or in danger of abandonment  if the other is  away.  I think that if something happened to one of us the other  would find it as difficult as anyone would.  That became clear t  me when i was ill a few years ago. 
  I think it is good that you manage so well on your own. It is a  difficult thing when a partner has died I believe particularly if you  were with your ideal flying partner.   I noticed this with my  mother. My mother flies solo  very well but it would not have been  her choice either. She has a new partner now but he has never moved  into the role left by her husband, my dad.

                    Avant-garde, he is much more sentimental than me in many ways
                
                Often people interpret my ability to be so independent as being selfish  which is true but I don't have a problem with it. I could never have  married someone who did not allow me that. Also he knows that I don't  mind him doing his own thing either. It works for us

                    Alone time is very nice
                
                but it is also very nice to be reminded that there are others who don't wish for us to be gone forever.

 Hi .. Years ago I had to plan for solo time in order to keep my sanity and some one was always saying that I wouldn't know what to do with a abundance of time by myself. Now the kids are grown and my husband has been dead for 10 years and although I sometimes wish I had a companion to share my life with I also know that I don't mind being alone and flying solo. It's nice that your friend misses you and wants to share but I understand the need to do your own thing without someone making you feel guilty for neglecting their needs. I wish you well with all the things your are doing!

                That is a sign of good self-esteem. Isn't it weird that for a woman not to cling to a man is considered abnormal?
