You can can create your world and be happy with(in) it.
I prepared for a series of possible life scenarios when younger, most of which entailed celibacy and no sort of social life. And I was fine with it. Reproducing was not even a goal.
Events came to be and managed to find mate, territory, den and reproduced. Found familiars, discovered never before tapped resources, capabilities and interests.
Mate and I are bonded for life. All previous connections are lost, broken or hostile.
Go out to provide for the den daily, come back tired, dirty and smelly. Often bruised and scuffed. Mate tends wounds, provides comfort. Return care and nurture to mate. Tend to den and offspring. Tend to familiars.
Sometimes, get to sit alone and look over the den and territory.

Feel tired. Feel happy.
