or even separate houses to their spouses?

I'm thinking I wouldn't mind my own space, which I can keep nice and neat and just the way I like it, and the rest of the mob can fend for themselves in their own part, I'll even let them hire a cleaner.

I feel like you just read my mind

I say if Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera could do it, damn it,so can the rest of us if we so choose .

I like my stuff UNBROKEN, nice and straight, without crumbs all over it and QUIET!

I'm not sure where I stand on this now but - for years - I used to say my ideal set-up would be having the house next door to my bloke. His house, my house - maybe a means of walking through. Then a 3 bedroom house - his room, my room, and the room. You could alternate between all 3. Now? I'm not sure. Space is very important, definitely.

Can't you move into a castle, Charlotte? Problem solved.

it even has its own bidet right in the front yard!

there is a lot to be said for having your own space. my partner and i have seperate rooms and bathrooms, i can't always sleep beside him as he likes the tv on, i don't.

heavenly!

That's the only kind of relationship I am willing to be in. I have zero interest in living with a person I am in a long term committed relationship with. Keep your place, I'll keep mine and we will see each other when we want to not because we have to.

Charlotte, you really work hard to convince the rest of us to never get married or have children.



As for me, I could only live with someone if we have the means to have a place big enough to have our own space. I’d definitely want a shared bedroom, but I’m gonna need my own room besides.

I want to live together with the man I love and for me the pros by far outnumber the cons. I hate it to live alone right now. I much prefered it when I lived with my bf.

I do not mind living with my spouse, it is quite fun. The most annoying part for me is sharing a bathroom. I have always had my own when living with someone. Going back to sharing one sucks. I find it more annoying when we have company staying with us. The bathroom happens to be small and there are no electrical outlets in it. I find that more annoying than sharing the rest of the house.
Hopefully we will have moved from here by the time our son is being potty trained. In the new house, the boys get their own bathroom!

I'm sure some people probably think I'm full of shit about this, but whatever.

Oh, I KNOW Erin's not joking - and I'm (halfway) there with you too. Next week, I could be a crazy old man living on an island.

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter live next door to each other - seems to work for them.

Charlotte!!!

Move in with me to Hearst Castle. I was there 2 weeks ago and it was beautiful. This will be our pool.

I must say, all of our guests have been great.

I am just used to having a guest bathroom.
