Have You Ever Lived Alone And Liked it?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I lived alone from the time I was 21 (graduated from college and got a job) until my husband and I started living together when I was 41...so 20 years.

After all that time, learning to live WITH someone was a challenge.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Things I liked and didn't like about being alone...things I like and don't like about sharing.

But I know I can survive..and enjoy... either one!

I absolutely LOVED living alone. I didn't realize how MUCH I loved it, until I tried living with someone else.

I love my husband, don't misunderstand ... but there are times I truly wished I still lived alone.

I had my own apartment for about a year before Eric and I moved in together. It had advantages, but the apartment didn't allow pets and I don't like being without one. I went out a lot with friends and didn't spend a lot of time there.

I like having time to myself, but I prefer living with someone. Eric and I have pretty different schedules, so we mainly see each other only on the weekends...if I didn't have my pets, I would feel kind of lonely, especially during the winter months when it's not that pleasant to be outside.

I've never lived on my own, but I'm considering moving out of the 'rents house sometime soon.

I lived alone for around 3 years before I moved in with Alexa and I LOVED it. It was so hard for me to give up my place and move in with someone. However now I'm enjoying always having her around. The nice thing though is that we each have our own private areas. The upstairs bedroom is where I spend most of my time alone and she spends most of her time in the downstairs master bedroom. Because of my work schedual it's easier for us to have seperate bedrooms. We still sleep together at night, but when I wake up at 3:30 a.m. to get ready for work I just have to go upstairs and not worry about waking her up.

I've lived alone since '86 and love it!

I went straight from my parents' home to getting married and living with a husband. At this point in my life living alone would mean that something has happened to my husband so I definitely would not like it.

I've never lived alone. I don't think I could. I can't stand it when Justin is away for even one night. I really hate being alone, even with the animals here with me.

[Cataholic]

I lived alone from 1991-1995, and then again from 2000-2004. In 2004, Jones moved in..hee hee hee.

I've never lived on my own but pray every night that I could right now.

I ended up with my own dorm room for about six months. I hated it. I'm paranoid about being alone. Being married is much better!

[jackie]

I love my own space!

I lived alone on and off for the last 7 years, and prefer to live alone.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I've always lived on my own and like it a lot.
I was engaged two times and it drove me nuts having to wait on someone all the time.
I've always been the independent type!!!

[Felicia's Mom]

Outside of one or two cats, I have lived alone since the early 1970's.

I enjoyed it very much. I have always been a loner.
