>>46106802Having children isnt the be all and end all of an intimate relationship anon, despite the assumption of many people on this board. If you cant find a partner willing to spend the (life)time with you without having kids, that isnt a fault on your end, and there should be plenty of romantic options out there that also dont see themselves raising a family. As for the solitude enjoyment thing, one of the better aspects of my relationships so far has been what i call "being alone together"- being able to sit there in the same room and doing your own thing, but able to share dumb thoughts that pop up, laughing at something that is in your browsing or gaming, shifting together for shared warmth... I would say its a trade off worth making once you find someone right for you.
