I once had a girlfriend that led me to want to do dangerous solos! I guess the relationship was good and bad in a way.
My current girlfriend makes me want to spend time with her and not alone on a mountain face.

This is weird, because I wanted the divorce, but I was left with a profound sense of failure and inadequacy all the same. After the divorce I had a couple of “torrid” relationships which just fanned the flames, and even though deep inside I knew my motivations were less than pure, I kept soloing.
Then I saw the writing on the wall when, being casual and overconfident, I very nearly skipped off the last pitch of Igor Unchained in The Needles. It didn’t really hit me right away, but after a while I started having these falling dreams which would wake me up in full panic.
Since about 2004 my soloing has been limited to alpine 4th and easy 5th class routes, and I am comfortable that I am there for the right reasons. Nothing to do with you know what...

Sorry, but I don't know what it's like.
This was supposed to be funny!
Like I never lacked a partner.
I did my soloing as a kid, before I really knew what doing it (sex) was.
Moderate (UIAA IV to V) rock cliff (40m tall) solo climbing.

Yes, but mostly sex after soloing, or whatever.
