Middle aged men, do you really want a relationship?

I dunno...my partner and I wake up together frequently, but we maintain separate residences...I have a son whose 'challenges' will pretty much guarantee that he'll be with me for life. We've been together nearly a year now, and never yet had a real argument. We both work at extremely demanding jobs, and I have absolutely no problem with the fact that he's at the mercy of his - four weekends a year? If only! I'm totally used to his phone going off at the most inopportune moments, and if he can't talk someone through handling the crisis, it's off to work he goes. On the other hand, if I feel like going to an MD get together, or a quick cruise somewhere, he has no problem with that. Matter of fact, I just got an email from my sister, who's down in Panama and wants to know if I can take a quick trip down there to help her sort out a problem. I just asked when she'd need me there, I'll start making arrangements.
No man is an island, nor is a couple, and if anyone's self-centered, it's someone who requires his or her SO to cut off contact with their family and friends in order to satisfy his or her need for 'togetherness.' That's all about control and it's exactly what my first husband needed - been there, done that, have the tee shirt and will never do it again - it's the biggest red flag going for me.
But that's me...as Frumious Bandersnatch would say, YMMV.
