Would you want to live a long & healthy life but never found love or have been in a lasting love relationship but didn't live as long?

[sage2021]

I have been in love but my health hasn't been so great at different times in my life. But I have a friend, Anne, and she's almost 80 and she's never been in love but she's always been very healthy and still mows her lawn and does the things she has always done with ease because she's so healthy.
That's what inspired my question.

Long lasting love with a shorter life , The only good thing we have on this planet is Love , without love life is pretty friggin boring , if my life ended up like your friends , I would probably jump off a bridge eventually and think what was even the point of living to begin with? To work and pay bills and deal with asshole people? I would take love and a shorter life any day

@sage2021 Difficult choice. I have always had good health, and vigor, and expect it to last. I admire Anne, for that reason. For me, Love and Sex are inextricably bound together and I would WANT both, even if that didn't occur.

A terrible compromise, to live LONG without having a "Love" to share it with.

I'd rather have been in a lasting love relationship but don't live as long. What's a life without love?

Health is very important, and why it should be looked after the best we can, by keeping fit with a good diet.

If we can also educated with a career too, I think we can't do anymore to improve our prospects of finding a suitable partner, and hopefully a loving relationship.

If love doesn't come along our life journey, we can't make people love us, though if we have health, there's always a chance of finding love whatever our age.

You might be surprised at how many people don't care if the person doesn't happen to be healthy or not. When they are bitten by the love bug, they still want to be in that person's life and love each other. I've known people that have experienced it and they still really loved the person.

Of course if you don't have health and money, it's not the end of the world. But I'm saying prize health, and look after it, and it will be much easier to find love.

@sage2021sage These are my values that I have lived to. I'm very sorry you've had bad health, but because one has found love, for anyone else reading this, you shouldn't ignore your health. Probably in a relationship, possibly with children too, I know it's a big temptation to not find time for oneself.

Usually it is the lonely ones that don’t live as long.
