Living alone best things

This thread is really helpful. I’m started a thread about how lonely I have been feeling of late, and all these posts are reminding me of the up side of living alone!

Space.
My own space and lots of it.

Peace.

Not having to deal with moods,sulking,shouting.

Peace.

No more jobs waiting to be done for years or accusations of “nagging”. No more asking for permission or hearing “no” because he said so.
No demands.

Kids are fine,we’re all more relaxed and smiley. We love each other.

No duties or obligations inflicted on me.

Peace❤️

Oh that resonates. I absolutely love my friends and family but not under my roof.

Im very social but i absolutely relish getting back home, locking the door and soaking up the silence

The best thing about living alone is living alone. I don't spend time wishing that the people I live with would just fuck off and leave me alone. I like people as long as I don't have to live with them.

Being able to watch something on TV without someone falling asleep beside you then waking up and saying 'what's going on here, then?' and expecting a full plot synopsis.
Being able to sit and read a book for as long as I want without someone sulking that they are being ignored.
Taking the dog for a walk and going as far as dog and I want without having to check the time because 'someone' will be wondering where we are.
Cleaning and tidying when I want, not because someone has complained about dust.
Always knowing how many toilet rolls are left and not going to take the last one and then finding it's been used without a word being said.
Only having to wash up my own dishes...

In fact, there are so many I could be here all day! Six years single and would NEVER live with a man again.

Everything. Freedom, privacy and control. Sleeping/eating how/when I want. Also not having to tell anyone every time I go out and say where I'm going. Not having to negotiate/compromise.
I have a husband and he lives alone too (although we stay at each others' homes regularly)

This sounds blissful.....dreaming of the day until I can live alone.

No noise no interruptions. Can eat and cook what I like. Can spend my money how I see fit. Can go to sleep the hour I desire. Wake up the time that suits me.

Ds who is now 20 is often at his girlfriend these days as well as his full-time job. This makes my life lovely and peaceful.

I am lucky I have learned self sufficiency all these years too. Rarely bored rarely lonely.

Loving these! For me it’s:
Silence
Clean tidy house (when the kids are away)
Sleeping alone / no snoring (except from me)
Walking around the house naked
Cooking what I want to eat
Watching what I want on tv, when I want to
Staying in or going out as I please
Not having to compromise and do things I don’t fancy to keep someone else happy.
Everything is where I put it
Life is calm and chilled, no arguments or stress
Using the good glasses/crockery and enjoying what I bought because I like it

No sex and no housework!
Only when I want to do it

i love the peace and harmony. I can watch want I want, eat what I want, live in my pjs when I want, sit in the garden with a book and enjoy a glass of wine and don’t have to worry about anyone else. And I have just booked a lodge with a hot tub for a week for myself and my beloved dog. Bliss. Why involve anyone else?

I made myself a pornstar martini when I got home, in my lovely glass. I then had beans on toast for tea, because i couldn't be bothered to cook. I'm now in bed about to read my book. And there's nobody here to criticise a thing. It's bliss 😊

Farting whenever I like. Very liberating

The food you saved in the fridge for tomorrow nights dinner (time saving exercise) is still there!

Zero snoring.

100% tv remote possession.
Never having to watch Coronation Street ever again 🎉🎉🎉🎉.

I could probably go on all night about this…

I play backstreet boys whenever I want
I watch whatever I want
I drink wine when I want
I generally do what I want
It's heaven

Honestly, the posts complaining about husbands and boyfriends on here just solidify my solitary life

I was worried about cost but actually I’m saving money, he spent loads.

Where do I start?
The remote control is mine, mine all mine!
You never have to hear “what’s for dinner?”
You can totally go back to bed at 11am on a Sunday because you need a nap.
Your bathroom smells beautiful, no toothpaste splatters on the mirror, no dirty underwear (unless it’s your own) left on the floor.
No towels left soaking wet and just slung around.
Peace and quiet, play your music as loud as you want.
So many beautiful little pieces of happiness, all around.

I think many would love to by all the moaning I hear about husbands, but can’t because of money and/or wanting to keep the family together

Totally echo this!

This thread is making me so jealous

So many…
Don’t have to share the bed with a sweaty smelly noisy man.
Don’t have to talk to another adult once I shut my door
House stays clean and tidy
No resentment for them not doing their share
No compromise
No smoke
No expectations on me for affection or sex (I love both these but when I want them)
None of their family or friends visiting or wanting to stay
I can walk around without getting my bum slapped when I bend over or boobs squeezed etc
I have space for my van on the drive
I can have who I want over
Totally my own taste in decor, garden etc
Be the mum I want to be around the kids
No-one waiting for me to come home
Read my phone in bed for as long as I want

Watching what you want on tv without someone moaning.

Having undisturbed sleep.

no mess or bad smells

the total freedom to spend your days off exactly as you want whether it’s lounging in bed most of the day with trashy tv and a good book, or having friends over for drinks and dinner, or watching your favourite film with your favourite takeaway and just feeling completely at peace

All of the above, and more. I don't know why the divorce rate isn't higher than it is!
