Since I was in my 30s, I haven't wanted to go through the effort of getting to know them, finding all their landmines, then after putting in all that time and effort to have them decide they want to try someone else. I gave them one last chance with my second ex, 8 years together before getting married, and it ended the same way they all did. The last time I could ever trust one of them was more than 20 years ago. At least the second one didn't harsh my peace, and the spicy time never ended until I turned off the debit card, car insurance, and everything else because of infidelity on her part. In my 40s I was getting lots of them in their 20s, a handful in their 30s, but it was always all the same thing, over and over. Untrustworthy, flighty, definitely not a long term thing. Now at 55 I enjoy living alone, travelling to dragstrips all summer to run my car, and doing fun stuff I enjoy.
Building old cars is vastly cheaper, more enjoyable, and infinitely more satisfying than dating/relationships. Our opposite simply isn't worth any effort at all anymore, even for the only thing I want from them.
