Have You Ever Lived Alone And Liked it?

[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.

I've never lived alone and would hate to live alone. I'm one of those people that just HAS to have someone around to talk to, to be close to, to spend time with, etc. I went straight from my parents' home, to living with my husband. I get my 'alone time' when my husband's at work, but honestly, I don't like 'alone time' very much. When my husband goes to work, I end up going to visit my mom, just so I'm not alone. When I need to get things done, I need to be alone, but otherwise, I NEED my family. Besides...9am to 6pm, while hubby's at work, is more than enough 'alone time' for me. I get so excited when he calls to tell me he's on his way home from work. He he he. I love weekends, because weekends are days we spend every moment together. There's nothing more special to me than walking together, shopping together, going to the park together, eating together, playing games together, surfing the web together, snacking together, visiting family/friends together, etc. Thank God my husband's the same way. He too, wants me to go everywhere with him, and spend every moment with him when we're together on weekends. I wouldn't have it any other way. I remember being alone in my room most of the time during my teen years, and I would never want to go back to that. Even when I *am* alone, I need my pets.

I have, and have always absolutely loved it. It is going to be an adjustment when I get married in 9 days... I love having my own space and my own schedule.

However, if you were to take the dogs out of the equation, I think I might like living alone still, but not nearly as much.

I lived alone after college for a year, then had a roomate for 2 years. At that point in my life, having a rommate was the best thing for me... emotionally and financially. Then I was on my own again for a year, then had a roomate for a year! Then was alone again for a year, then moved in with the man who would become my husband. We were together for 10 years, and now I have been on my own for almost 6 years. I definitely prefer living on my own, as I can do as I please and not worry about anyone else (well, except my kitties of course!) I can walk around nekkid if I want!

HOWEVER, I would like to be in a loving, trusting relationship once again, and I know that that could entail living with someone once again. And that is a compromise that I am willing to make to have someone in my life once again whom I can love and trust. I mean, I have done it before...

Does any of that make sense?
