Don't know if you have offspring or not, if you do then their opinions must count. My mother (and dad's mother) died when I was 13. Dad never made another commitment even when he had the chance. Instead he expected me to, in his words, get married and supply him with a housekeeper...
End result the girl I had a long relationship with effectively kicked me out; the only other girl I wanted to settle down with and have family with didn't want to know once she had met him. Eventually met another girl, kept her away from my dad, we married once I'd moved for work.
Even now, some years after his passing, his influence still affects our lives. All I can say is I'm pretty lucky with my partener.

Your negative and erroneous comments, are why I chose to block your posts, but just to respond to them this once - I said 'to share things with, and to some extent share the running costs'. I manage perfectly fine financially living alone and the scivvying I can equally easily manage myself. Just to be absolutely clear for gas at the back of the class - I DO NOT WANT OR NEED A PARTNER FOR EITHER REASON. The mutual love care and affection can be safely assumed. Now back you go to sniffing your gas.

for someone who says you have me blocked you constantly reply .With the same excuse of just this once . I see it take someone else to mention the basics of a successful relationship before you even mention them and yet again after you have mentioned the monetary value .
I look forward to seeing you on one of those early morning bbc programmes with gloria hunniford with some woman saying she has been taken for a mug
Nope, I have neither offspring, nor any of my relatives left alive - I am a completely free agent, no one but myself to please. Nearest I do have, is my original partners family, whom I have almost nothing to do with, as did she before her death.
Can't really blame her for that.

In that case, just focus on being happy. Enjoy life, take some risks.

Watch out for gold diggers Harry!
Rattling round in a five bedroom house brings them on, downsizing to a one bedroom flat should sort the wheat from the chaff.
Maybe Harry doesn't want that though.

shortly after my brother was widowed he had a woman he vaguely knew, much younger, start bringing food and whatnot to weedle her way into his life. Hints didn't work so he had to be blunt, it ending up getting quite unpleasant.
He and his current wife have their own families, so they did arrange a "standard" pre-nup before they got married. Such things exist apparently.
You just NEVER know how people are going to change. Don't leave yourself open, it could easily ruin your life.

Never would have guessed (titter). Give yer nails a clean, shift that V8 block out of the kitchen, clean some of the scrap off the front lawn - you never know….
On yer bike noseall
I don’t have a v8 in my kitchen
Although there is 71 Norton in my spare room
I don’t keep scrap here either due to a load getting pinched ( yes they probably were Foreigners who pinched it )
Best you clean your finger nails
Than you never know ? You can cease to be an embarrassment to your family
