Choosing to live life in solitude

It's OK to choose solitude. Don't know if it's OK for you. My life is very solitary. I'm married, but we ran out of things to say to each other years ago. I discuss politics online a lot, but if she and I discuss politics, we often argue ... even if we essentially agree. Every conversation turns into a debate. We're always exploring the space of disagreement rather the space of agreement.
Aside from my wife, I encounter practically no one in real life. I work from home and only have coworkers online. I visit family occasionally, but they're hundreds of miles away, and I don't communicate much with them electronically. I have no close friends in real life aside from my wife. If I have any friends, they're virtual or friends from the past that I see rarely as when my mother died recently.
Could I be happier? I can always imagine myself happier, but I don't know what another life would be like.
