I wish I could live alone I really do - I have had someone with me who was a torment to my life for as long back as I can remember and now I have a grown son with me and I truly wish he would leave but i would take a miracle. I'm sorry this is not an upbeat post but I have no one else to talk to.
-
My daughter lives with me and I enjoy her being there. Think I would be very lonely if she moved out.
-
I am 57 years old and I have never lived by myself. I'd really like to, I mostly like being alone.
-
I haven't lived alone for a while but between leaving my parents home and getting married i did for a few years. I remember I liked it, I had all the freedom i wanted. Even though I have a great husband who has never even tried to put any type of rules, it's not the same as being 100% independent.
-
I never have lived alone, but I don't think I'd mind living alone... I think it is only natural as a mom to want their kids to move out & on. Hope your living situation works out for you in the near future.

I have never lived alone, I don't think I would enjoy it at all.

I kinda, sort of live alone. I work ten to twelve hour days at my day job and six to eight hours a day at my night/weekend job. My wife lives in the same house but is usually at tennis, or on vacation with her girl friends, and when she is home she spends more times talking to the dogs. We have gone a week at a time without saying more than five words. She will try to engage me when her friends are over but never one on one dates. It has been like this for over five years. I continued trying to keep things alive until a year ago. I asked myself why I should put so much effort into this when there is no reciprocity. My son and daughter come home from college which I can never get enough of. My daughter just finished college and is headed off into the work world (plus has a boy friend) so I will not see as much of her probably once every six weeks and on holidays-have gotten her safely into adulthood. My son will still be in the picture for another two years.

Yes, and I do live alone. I sometimes need to be by myself so that I can take it easy whenever anxiety gets to me, but I like to hang out with others in public every now and then.
-
yes, I do but right now , I am happily married and we are living 4 bedroom house just the two of us. If i want to be alone just go to the other room and on the music and just relax.
-
It took me 10 years to gets used to it, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.
-
Was alone till I had children. Then, raised first child alone, she got married, moved out. Moved back, moved out again. Have younger daughter at home but really don't want her to leave, I would feel very lonely. She is 23.

Living a lone can be lonely but it gives you a piece of mind.
-
I have never lived alone so far in my life. I have spent a lot of time alone and I can relate to living alone. It would be nice at times because no one bothered me, but lonely at times as well if I felt like playing a board game or just wanted someone to hang out with.
-
I love living alone...my way.
-
I have never lived alone but I like the people I live with. Never stop believing in miracles.
-
Yeah i like when im alone maybe buy your own place with the money you make from here hahaha.
-
I do, and it has some advantages and disadvantages...
-
Living alone is cool but it's boring at the same time
-
I live alone & love it, no one to tell me what to do. Debidoo, maybe you should give your son a HINT to leave the nest. Maybe he just need a little push out of the nest.
-
When I lived alone (in college and a few years into my first job), it was a pretty good experience. I loved the peace, privacy, and solitude. Over the years, however, I missed having some company.
-
I have never lived just by myself. Went from my parents' home to a home with my husband. I've often wondered what it would be like...
-
I liked living alone, when I had the changes, I do not mind living with my son he is a blessing.
-
I am sorry to hear that you endured torment from the person you lived with debidoo. Hopefully your son will move out and give you the peace you need. I was hospitalized for about 6 weeks more than 10 years ago and while I had some roommates that felt like being alone because I had never in my life been without family that long. I also stayed at an assisted living home not long after my hospital stay for 5.5 months and was in my own room off to myself. That felt like living alone too despite the other people who were there. I don't live alone, but would like my own apartment.
-
I have lived alone once upon a time. I liked it. Have a relative living with me.
-
I love living alone; and as a matter of fact, it's now a necessity for me.
I lived with my husband and children for 25 years and I've been living alone since 2005. There's a sense of freedom and inner peace that I feel when I go home knowing that I don't have to take care of anyone except myself.
:heart:

I do not live alone - I live with my husband - but I don't think I would mind living alone at all. When you live alone you can do whatever you want to whenever you want to, but if you live with someone else, you always have to inform them of your plans and include or exclude them from your plans, whatever they are.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. My two children have moved out though now and have lives of their own and I enjoy my peace and quiet I do have my two dogs but they have their own room when I need my space this is been a dream of mine for a long time to have my own home and live by myself I’m kind of a loner and this is the perfect way for me to be I hope in time your son will find his own life and you could have yours sending prayers for you

I lived along for over 20 years after my first marriage ended in divorce; did not bother me never missed a beat; I traveled and just enjoyed life and did things on my own terms and time; been remarried for about 9 years; but I still keep busy and when I have time to myself I am fine.
-
I don't know if I would like it or not. I have never lived alone.
