Will I ever fall in love again at my age? It is doubtful. I have an expiry date now...and a "best before" label. This morning I had to admit to my proud self...I am lonely....
Whatever happened to the truism that men at your age have the pick of the crop, because so many have already passed away, the women who outlive the men are always on the prowl?
You're self-sabotaging. As soon as something goes well, you come up with a way to throw cold water on it. Why not share the good news with friends or relatives?
It's not about the good news or sharing it with just anyone. It's just that this scenario made me realize at that moment the intimacy I was missing. It could have been anything, a song in the car, someone that looked like an ex walking down the street. This incident just for whatever reason made me realize that. The news is still good, and I am happy about it, but just last night, I just had a moment that made me feel like dang, I wish there was someone special here to share it with me.

I used to do something similar. When travelling, I used to wish I had someone to share the experiences with. When I realized how I was taking the potential joy away from myself, I bagged that mindset. It really made a big difference in my ability to be in the moment and enjoy myself. Quality of experience skyrocketed. Fixating on what's missing in your life is very counter-productive.

HEHEHE at your first comment, hey man at least you're honest
I have to agree with the OP. It is different sharing something with your partner than a close friend or family member. While the others are happy for you, your partner would have a more intimate knowledge of the struggles you were going through, and that would make her/him just a little more excited and enthused about your good news.
Your partner also knows when something is wrong or stressful on you, even when you don't say anything. No friend or family member would get the same message. Well, your mother might.

Thank you!! That's what I meant! It's like if you are married, and struggling, and you get that big promotion and raise, yeah everyone else is happy for you and should be, but it's nothing like sharing the news with your wife or partner who stood by you, and at times may have even helped you get to that point. It's just the best feeling, cause you are with someone and you are getting more than just a pat on the back, you are getting all the great things that make a relationship really good.
