Have You Ever Lived Alone And Liked it?

[Cincy'sMom]

I had my own apartment for about a year after I graduated college and before Ralph and I got married. I didn't mind it, but I don't think it is something I'd want to get too use to.

I like it more than I don't like it.
I always had roommates before I was married the first time, & I didn't like that very well. Then was married for 19 years. After we divorced, I liked mostly by myself- our sons went back & forth between us. I really liked it. And it was very important to me to prove to myself I could take care of everything myself. (I only worked part time for many years while the kids were small) I'm very proud I could. Remarried three 1/2 years later. Now Im in Ohio and he's in RI...and I'm enjoying the change, but I wouldn't want it to be permanent. Not that there were problems or anything, he & I just have very different likes. He likes radio talk shows, news & politics, and sports, I like it quiet, love listening to music, and watching nature shows. It's nice to have control over my enviornment (gosh, the TV remote...all to myself! ) I've always had animals. I used to joke that I lived with my cat longer than either husband or the kids! Now he was good company!
