If money was no object, would you live alone?

I love the company of my partner and my DC, but I need time on my own and love having my own space. I get exhausted by constant company.

Yes. Once kids have left home.

I do live alone, and I too love it. No partner, no kids.

No, because my husband is lovely and not a selfish arsehole.

We also respect each other having our own space in the house so I have never felt the need to literally move out

No.I like living with DH as we give each other space and he's tidy and pulls his weight around the house. I doubt I'd bother to look for anyone else you if he wasn't there.

No, I like company in my daily life. Clearly it would be better to live alone than with the wrong person, but as long as I can live with someone who has compatible tastes, I'd rather do that.

I don't have any kids but we do have two dogs and two cats. The pets could all stay with me, except one of the cats, who is a sadistic bastard. My DP can have him. Although to be fair we'd probably put a pet flap in the wall between the two houses. They'd all still stay with me though, as my house will have comfortable things like cushions and clean beds. DP would only change the bedding when it starts crawling and he is always complaining about the pointlessness of cushions.

I’ve been wondering if all those saying they’d rather live alone mean without their kids too!

Yes. I'd have DH in a house next door. I'd visit him but keep my own clean, tidy and relaxing space.

No! I like living with my DH and DC.

Completely agree. If I did get into another relationship, I wouldn’t ever think about cohabiting. I love my peace too much

I’m not well off but I’ve lived alone for 4 years since my DS left home and I couldn’t ever live with anyone again,

Its 10 years since I lived with a man - no money in the world could get me to ever cohabit again

Absolutely. But my DH is useless. Hasn't cooked a meal in 25 years or gotten his arse out of bed for DC or to do washing etc. I dream of only cooking for myself and only my tiny washing.

We have DC but he'd have them part time & I'd be free half the time. What bliss! I can never afford it though. I'd live in poverty.

Yes if we could afford to have two nice houses I would love that. Thought I was weird 😂

No but I would like separate bedrooms and bathrooms.

Yes.
Well I am going to be anyway soon but if I were still married I would still prefer my own house. My divorced parents have been back together but living apart longer than their marriage was and they love it.

I don’t envisage that with my ex but I love living alone, it’s fantastic (just expensive).

So you don’t live alone then.

Oh yes. DH knows if I ever had a lottery win, I’d be off 😆

I was just thinking about this when the kids were at school today . I coparent and love it when am on my own. I love my kids company of course but I also enjoy my own company. Living with a man in the future is a no no for me. We can go on holidays together but separate at the airport.

I loved living alone, but I love living with my DH more.

Yes, and I do! I am never living with another adult again! (I do, however, appreciate that I'm lucky in that my house comes with my job; if I didn't have that, and its very low rent, and a walking commute, I'd struggle financially).

It has the perks of being able to have some downtime after being at work. It's as clean as I like, it's quiet, I can have as many pets as I want, I can starfish in bed, and I don't have to compromise (I spent my childhood doing this, and generally lost out to my sibling) on anything, from decorating or what to have for dinner! Oh, and I can eat as much fish as I like without anyone complaining that it smells.

Nope, I love living with DH and would hate to live alone. And that's after I was very independent in my 20s and 30s, and waiting 10 years after meeting DH, not living together throughout that time, but going on holidays together and spending most evenings and most of the weekend together, before we got married.

We never lived together before marriage and bought our home jointly just a couple of weeks prior to the wedding, but still didn't move in till wedding night.

Barely ever spent a night apart since, only when one of us has been in hospital or a couple of time (in nearly 30 years) when one or other of us had to stay over in a hotel for work.

We both say we'll hate it when one or other of us dies, but neither of us has any intention of marrying/living with someone again either.

I do live alone. Not through choice but I'm pretty sure I'd neve want to live with another man.

You just have to look at those who win the lottery and end up divorced.

welllll, DH could well only be living with me because a) nobody else would; & b) he absolutely cannot (& doesn’t really want to) look after himself -or any1 else, I do it all.

My DH of 40 years and I agree that we’d have a massive house with a wing each, we’d probably share a bedroom but it would be two doubles pushed together with seperate duvets. I love going on holiday when it’s two big beds.
I’m very happy in my own company.
