    I lived alone off and on for many years. I had my son 15 years ago....so I haven't been, and won't be alone again for a few more years. Living alone or with someone, either way is fine by me. I enjoy my private time a lot.

    Nope, I have no problem with it at all. I have many a times dreamt of living in Montana at the foothill of the mountains on my small hobby farm full of horses, mules, dogs, cats, and other critters.

    I suppose it would get a little boring now and then and the need for "second hands" during projects would make me regret it now and then.

    Other than that, I think I could deal with it.

    I'd love to live alone as long as I had my furkids with me. Unfortunately I can't because I need to have a roommate because the cost of living is so high here but that's my dream to some day live alone with my furry kids.

    YLL: if you ever need volunteers to help you, count me in. I'll sleep in the barn with the horses.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Nope! I like having someone live with me. I would go crazy without another person not living with me.

    Ive lived alone, and at the time I kind of liked it, but it did get really lonely at times. But ever since I moved in with my husband I don't think I could handle it. His presence is something Ive grown very acustomed to (He says the same thing ) Im one of those people that likes to just have someone there, even if they aren't talking to me or anything. Has to be the right person though, anyone else drives me nuts lol

  9. I lived alone for 20 years....from the time I graduated college until Don. No pets.... just me. It was a very difficult adjustment for me to share my space with someone. The last few months, when Don has been in SoCal except for every other weekend, I reverted. Now.... back to sharing my space!

    What a question! I just turned 50 and have never lived alone. Although I am a loner by nature, I moved from family to college to marriage and have known my husband since I was fifteen. It is hard to imagine a life without him since I miss him terribly when we are apart for even one day!! But should that awful day ever come, I know that with God's help I would manage BUT I would have to have my kitties. They are my loves and companions and I never want to be without kitties!!

    I live by myself and love it. Now, if I didn't have my cats, I would be nuts; well nuttier anyway!

    I voted "No, I already do and am fine with it." That's how I feel overall but there I times when I feel lonely and I miss human contact.

    I go to my parents house once a week and I see Andy on the weekends.

    I feel very strange at the moment - Don and I have been wed for 34 years - he's often had to work away and when the girls were small I found it harder - not being able to drive.

    But he went to China 5 weeks ago and was due home today - he knew after 4 days there - this return was never going to happen and told me straightaway. The job is HUGE and has been vastly undertimed.

    So at present he should return home - hopefully - the first week in December!! Course I miss him - but it gives me lots of lovely time to do MY thing.
    I do hate going to bed alone - listening to night noises on my own spooks me.

    I enjoy living on my own very much. Notice I didn't say alone
    because with animal companions I never feel alone. I love
    answering only to myself. Friends and family are a phone call away if I feel like talking to someone.
