Have You Ever Lived Alone And Liked it?

[finn's mom]

I have, but only briefly. I loved it! I had my first living alone experience after marriage, though. If you'll notice a thread I posted about being afraid of the dark when I'm alone, that always took an effort on my part! But, I did become more at ease with it. I loved being in my own place, with no distractions. (In that I mean, I get more stuff done if I don't have someone there...I hate doing stuff like laundry or dishes if my boyfriend is home, for example!) But, that being said, I love living with someone who is respectful and understands the need for some down time and alone time. I like my living arrangement a lot!

No but I'm heading to Alaska in about 4 months and will live on my own for the first time! I going for a four month internship with a Mesuem of National history. 4 MONTHS! I've never lived on my own. Guess I'll let you know if I liked it or not when I get back.

I was on my own for about 8 years between college and when I got married. I don't remember exactly, but I would say maybe five of those I had a roommate and for three I lived alone. Being entirely self supporting was an excellent experience and one I would not trade for anything. I even enjoyed living alone. That said, I don't want to do it again at this later stage in my life. If anything happened to my husband, I would definitely want to find someone with whom to share a home.
