Do you like living alone if you do?
« on: June 24, 2019, 09:48:38 am »
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.

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.
