In my case, I would love for my partner to chip in and be the best friend she once was. Trauma’s, health and fear has overcome her to the point she is a kitchen, baker, and TV only person. I don’t fault her and I will take good care of her for the rest of her life. We share a home and she is getting better at allowing me to make her laugh on occasion.
My point is not my own woes as it sounds, but rather what I think I hear from the original poser and many others.
Being in the woods or on a farm or anyplace else close to the land is based on accomplishment, the joy of work and creativity.
To be busy all of the time and not have your (or any) friend to share a vision with is bit lonely on some level. Heck, there were times used to move all the patio furniture into a living room next to where I work so we could at least gossip. I do not even hope for a hand to hold the end of a tape measure.
I love my world and I will continue to improve it until the day I die. She may not be a hands on partner, but she can benefit from my efforts while I take silent pride in knowing how well she has it around here.
Back to the original premise… I think there are some who are happily partnered but still finding something is missing.
I did see a lot of pollinator tags…. I so want to raise bees for soo long. Currently building a second house that will be off the hook I think.
I just continue to work
