Have you, or could you, imagine yourself with the same partner for the rest of your life?
Yes. My 24th anniversary is coming up in a few weeks (26 years together) and I'm certain we will be together for the rest of our lives.
For me though, when single, it's always been a matter of when, not if, and with one of the right ones, not just the right one. I wonder if this outlook has made a difference in my ability to engage in relationships?
I love my wife, have committed myself to her, and can see very, very few reasons that would cause me to leave her. That being said, however, I'm confident that if she walked out on me tomorrow, I'd be with someone within 12-18 months about whom I would feel the same way. Not because I desire to be in a relationship for a relationship's sake, but because, and for whatever reason, I've been pretty good/lucky/?? at finding people that I mesh with throughout my life.
