Yes. It is absurd to turn down a once-in-a-lifetime companion because they didn't quite tick all of one's perfection boxes but came closer than the vast majority of humans ever will. While people my own age are still flailing around looking for true, deep, lasting love in their lives, I've been there and done that. It's not a mystery or a longing I will have never known. It could have been, if I had stopped and said, "Actually, you are amazing but not quite totally perfect so I have to pass on this opportunity."

No regrets.
