Q: You seem to love your wife very dearly, but I am curious: Do you ever wish you were single? Why or why not?
No, at least not in the sense of being alone. I think it is something common to the men in my family (certainly my dad) that we prefer to have people around us. This was brought home to me this week, when my wife was down in Orange County, and I was left in the house alone. Much as I profess to be a nerd who just wants to surf the internet… I missed having her around. Even if the interaction is both of us sitting in the same room working on our computers, we’re still together. After almost 20 years, I think that need is there. In fact, I can’t even remember what it was like living alone…. in fact, I’m not sure I ever did. I moved from my parent’s house to living with a roommate (an Astronomy Graduate Student, which is close to living alone :-)) and hanging around the UCLA Computer Club, to being married.
So, no, I don’t wish I was single.
Got a question? Ask it here.
