No, turtles don't mate for life. In fact, turtles instinctively survive on their own all their lives, pairing only to reproduce but after the deed is done, the male leaves while the female lays her eggs on land, buries them in the sand, and then leaves them. No such bond or companionship exists in wild turtles.
