I have struggled for a long time thinking about romantic relationships, have not been able to figure out why they are so important to people. I was married for 24 years and she walked out, I do not miss having that "special" someone. I feel no desire to be attached to anyone, and at this point truely wonder if it necessary for a happy life. Romance brings desire and dissapointments. Can one live in solitude without attachments such as this and be healthy

You can live a happy life with or without romance, IMO. I'd prefer not to ahve a girlfriend as I wouldn't have to share my money, have the stress of raising kids, or put myself at the risk of being stuck with a complete idiot.

I agree with you how people think that romantic relationships are so important. I find them to be time-consuming and primarily redundant.

relatonships are a struggle it is true as is living alone.
one can live alone and do well.
it is nothing to be embarassed by.
the fact that you ask would suggest perhaps you may be a little lonely.

Well, I felt the same way when my girlfriend dumped me. She was very harsh so I don't really miss her (she's now out having sex with married men--no joke).

It's not that I'm lonely, I wondering if I should feel lonely or, as I said, is there something wrong with me. I mean, not only am I detached from the need to have someone, I am not even attched to any family members. Those relationships are biological and no more. Is part of my brain missing?

No, you're ok, just a regular aspie.

I don't feel attached to my family either

I feel attached to one person, and then to my cats

Sunn. It's time you took the NonComformist Oath:

Raise your right hand-

"I promise to be different"
"I promise to be unique"
"I promise not to repeat things other people say"

All joking aside. Most of us are the same way. So no you are not different.

Yoda, what a great name for a cat. Why can't I think of names like that.
You and me sunn, the taoist catpeople!
