I think I (26M) have completely lost interest in having another partner again, and I'm okay with that. It's true that I've had some really selfish girlfriends in the past, but now I have kids, I feel my job is done, and the short term benifits of having a companion don't outweigh the problems associated with introducing my kids to them, only to have them deal with my break up at some point in the future. The most important thing to me is to bring stability to my children's life. Something I had none of in my childhood.

I don't feel lonely in that department any more, I could probably do with some friends closer by, but I also get the feeling that this lack of interest is only increasing as time goes by.

Is this a common feeling? Are there people out there who also are happy with being alone by choice? Is it unhealthy?
