I have been living alone for the past 2 1/2 years... after being married and living with the man I married for 13 years total.

Time has been critical and beneficial these past few years... although...

I am so ready to come home and have someone laying down on the couch, cook meals together, drink a few drinks, talk, share, take a shower with, lay next to... or whatever. I am so ready to live my life with someone I desire to be with.

...

Who alone feels the same and who would rather live alone? Why? (relationship or not)

I for one would rather live alone, if intimate/spiritual love does not exist within a personal relationship. I really don't mind living alone right now, it's quite peaceful... although at the same time I feel ready to share my life again, I feel so renewed.

If must be... casual temporary visits are always welcome. ~Smile.

Julie, you're so sweet!

I just felt inclined 2 tell you dat!

I have been living alone too the last 2 years, after a relationship of 5 years.

I don't mind living alone at all, in fact I think I prefer living alone. But of course I do miss the company sometimes, but I certainly don't miss the irritations coming with living together. I would like a new relationship but I wouldn't like living together again.

But I would like to cook for you, hehehe!

Ironically, my father asked me this very same question just tonight...

He asked me about how I felt being single benefitted me (he couldn't remember when my marriage ended)...my answer was very similar to yours...that I'm more than ok being alone right now, the years spent by myself allowing me to attend to personal things, to better focus on who I am and where I desire to be. I'm open for more...but it's not an immediate necessity.

But I also told him that, yes, the moments do flow over you when your soul desires having that special someone in your life and heart. Timing and connection, both spiritual and passionate, will play their roles...that a complete and fulfilling relationship starting within my life will happen when it happens...I won't force it. Until then, I just keep working on myself...perhaps preparing myself for the day everything does fall into place.

Hi Julie!!

I live alone (with my son), and I love it!
Sometimes it's difficult to explain in English..Byrons story comes very close to what I have to say, so read that again!

Of course I live alone. I just have to involuntarily share my apartment with my neighbours' kids who just refuse to shut up even for 10 seconds.

home alone and i like it !!

I love living alone. I don't even want a roomate. When I want people over, I invite them over, otherwise, I LOVE the peace and quiet and privacy.

I just woke up...

I don't miss...

~Doing twice the laundry, including folding twice the clothes. (the absolute worst, in my book)

~Cleaning urine and all else off the toliet seat and floor. Why do guys urinate all over the floor? I asked my husband this... he said, "because I urinate with the lights off." Turn the lights on, please... and wipe the toliet seat, ugh!



That is all I can think of...

I even miss complaining, I have nothing to complain about... not even to myself. No one complains to me either.

Living alone is not so bad.

It is so quiet in my place and I can hear the bird singing outside. Coffee time.

Thank you for sharing.

Hey... , what would you cook? ~Smile.

ain't got no ball and chain (wife) or annoying kids running around my feet














COULDN'T BE ANY HAPPIER!

Keep trucking Byron... all time is necessary and timing (plus will) is everything, this I know.

Rather live alone.


I love my freetime.

Keep dancing, fool.

j.k.

I work with Pediactric children... and in this case, children are not in their best mood. I watch parents and their patience being tried everyday, not only with their children... but with each other. Yikes! It gets tense sometimes... and it is up to me to distract them, distract them all. ~Smile.

...

Like I said... keep dancing.

I've been living alone, sans roommates that is, for about 5 years and I love it. I can't imagine having a "roommate" again. I need my solitude, sometimes desperately. I don't miss all the silly, petty arguments that come from living with someone you don't quite mesh with.
I've never really lived with a significant other (unless you count the time after graduation that my high school boyfriend stayed with me and my family the summer before college, but I don't really count that myself...).
BUT - I do think I am in a place that I am (finally) ready to live with a partner. But until that time comes and the opportunity presents itself, I'm quite content on my own.

Apartment living is a pain.

I am so particular as well Carrie. I moved in with my best friend for a few months before getting my own place. I could not stand it! I was always walking on egg shells (I was)... everyone has their particular ways and I felt bad for invading her space. That is just how I feel about other peoples home. I knew right then... that no matter how hard it was to get started again, I would not have a roommate. Plus, I am a clean freak.

I can relate.

After a hectic day at work... I am so thankful most days to have peace and quiet. Plus, my job is heating up... work will consume my time heavily. I love my job, it is so not a job.

And you little Missy...

Beautiful day. ~Hugs.

lilmissmissy said:

Very comforting. ~Smile.



I must get ready for work.

Right back atcha babez!!

Freespirit said:

Isn't it!!

Have fun at work Julie!!

I live alone and like it.

However, every now and then it is nice to have someone to come home to.

If I kicked out my b/f and my kid and my freeloading brother who sleeps on the couch sometimes, I'd be alone...but loniliness is a sonofabitch!

I am alone. I have my two WONDERFUL children 3-4 days out of every week, so I like it.
