What are your thoughts on this kind of a life for a woman?

Asked by Aster (20023points) January 9th, 2011

How do you feel about this style of life? A close friend of mine never married. She wanted to ; she wanted a husband and kids. But she met a man who didn’t want a family so she never had one. She got her Masters’ Degree and worked in a library all her life and has a very comfortable retirement. They spend all holidays alone. She has some hobbies she loves and a cat. Does this lifestyle appeal to you?
She would have made a terrific mother but obviously has avoided all the potential pitfalls and joys of having children. Her sole family member is an older sister who had triple bypass ten years ago.
