    I've been living alone (with no other HUMAN person) for quite some time now. As long as I have my furkids, I'm happy as a clam.

    living alone

    Well, I'm used to living alone. Ever since my dad passed away, 4 years ago.I have Nikki & Daisy for company and my brothers come over to help out. I'm an old bachelor, but wouldn't mind a human companion.

    I would HATE it so much, I have lived alone for nearly ten years and hated every minute of it, recently My husband and daughter went away overnight and my son was out, and it was the first time in over ten years we had been apart, it was so scarey , I hardly slept a wink, and I missed them terribly., I was fortunate both Lexie and Ash kept me company, both sitting a few lengths apart from each other on the couch with me, it was like they knew, so cute.

    Sometimes I think oh peace and quiet would be nice, and just being able to please yourself, and not have to worry about anyone else might be nice, but only for a second, I NEVER want to live alone again.

    I love having time to myself, so I think that IF anything ever happened that I was without a partner, I would be happy by myself.

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Re: Would you mind living alone?

    Now that I am single, I must
    say I can survive living alone with my pets.

    Now If given the choice, I would rather have a good loving human and my pets living with me.

    I'm not sure how'd I'd do on my own. I think I'd be okay with it I guess... I'd have to have my kitties with me though! I guess I might like having time to myself.

    Nope. Went from living with my parents to living with my husband. When he works late or meets friends after work, I am miserable being home alone OR I invite a friend or my parents up for the evening so I won't be alone. Don't like it, not one little bit.

    I don't think so. I love being married, having a companion to share with, eat dinner with, and spend time with. And although, I would be thankful if it ever happens, I am thankful not having kids at this point. I like having my pets (who don't talk back).

    No way in a million years! there are mabny times where I have the day to myself and usually by dinnertime I'm bored out of my mind and am waiting for everyone to come home and entertain me!

    But then again I work from home, so I hardly get the interaction I'd get from working in an office or busy company.

    I know I could live alone. I'm fairly anti social & I grew up alone. But I know I'll never be alone again, I have Rob. & when Rob's not home I have Axle, & he should be around for a good 30 years

    I would LOVE to have the opportunity to live alone. I have never lived alone in my life.

    I went from living with my parents, directly to living with a roommate in college for a little while, to living with my boyfriend, then we had our son. For a while my niece and her boyfriend lived with us as well.

    My son is now thirteen years old, and I am SO looking forward to eventually being able to live ALONE. The other day my boyfriend said, "You know, it's kind of stupid that we are both making house payments on houses two blocks apart." I just stared at him and said, "Don't EVEN dream of it." Living with one other person is stressful enough, no way someone else is moving into my house!

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I really didn't mind living alone for a lot of years. Of course I had Helen with me most of the time, but in the summers, she was gone most of the time, and it never bothered me to be by myself. I think that it was a very positive experience for me (10 years), and I was very content. Then, along came Scott, who swept me off my feet and life changed dramatically!! For the better, I might add!!

    I lived alone for years. I moved out of my parents' house when I was 17 and was on my own until I got married at 26. I loved it. I never had a roommate. Didn't even have a fur kid til I was 24, bought my first condo and immediately got Glacier.

    Even now, I still enjoy it when hubby goes away for awhile.
