celibate life
No romantic partners
A celibate life is one without sexual activity, typically as a deliberate choice rather than circumstance.
The phrase often appears in religious contexts, where celibacy is a spiritual discipline: Catholic priests commit to a celibate life.
It may also describe a secular choice to abstain: After the divorce, she embraced a celibate life.
