writes:Does it matter if I never have a partner? So here's the deal...I've only ever had one partner, and that was years ago. I'm 24 now, and so interested in my research, writing and subject that I don't feel that I'd ever have a need for a partner: all of my enjoyment comes from my research subject (French Literature and the works of Marcel Proust). I have a healthy social life with my friends and family, and am so 'wrapped up' in my research and academic interests that I've never felt the need for a partner. Some people choose their careers ahead of a partner though right? I know I'm still young, but would it matter if "A la recherche du temps perdu" (Proust's biggest piece of work) takes over my life (as in the part of my life where a partner would be). I've never been a sexual person anyway, so not too bothered of missing anything like that; just suppose that I want confirmation that It's cool if that's what makes me happy. Why I'm even asking for clarification I don't know...It's just something that's been niggling away on the back burner for a few weeks now. Any thoughts on this would be greatfully received! x x Reply to this Question
