The human psyche has such a deep seated desire for companionship that this is a tough call, and certainly different for each individual. I know that the distress is severe. I also know that if the TG remained single, they would never know the peace of a companion to make a comparison. The distress is due to the development of the companionship, and its depth. I know I am different than most. I had 41 years of this deep companionship. I have now had 6 months of angst, and one month of hell. dont know what will develop, but doubt I would have traded anything.
In terms of just simply not putting pain into two lives, staying single would be the way to go. But then there would be no possibility of two perhaps finding their joy. Great discussion over martinis, think we should arrange to to that....
