If money was no object, would you live alone?

No, I like living with my fiancé, building a home together, although I'd love more space so we could house our hobbies properly and have separate bathrooms and stuff. If we split or he died, I'd probably choose not to live with anyone again though (once the kids were grown). I do love living alone.

No way.

Don't get me wrong, my partner and I love nothing more than having the house to ourselves for a few days (I'm actually enjoying that privilege as we speak - lovely stuff) but I'd hate to live alone permanently. I enjoy their company too much.

No - I’d have a massive estate /
compound though with lots of room for my elderly parents, adult children one day, brother and his family , and loads of staff. I can but dream…

I knew it would only be a few posts before someone came along to say how people who want to live alone don't love their partners as much as they love their partners! 😁
You will be shocked that I have been married 30 years and still love to travel alone

Yep

Ive lived alone for most of my life and enjoy it. I always said that when I reached a point where I could no longer look after myself I would end my life with dignity. Its easy when you live alone. You just tell your friends or family you are going away for a couple of weeks. Eventurlly one of them gets worried and comes to find out why yur not answering the phone or emails. And they find you. But its too late.

Yes. Overnight stays would be allowed (on invitation) but I would love to wfh in peace, knowing I wouldn't be interrupted, or walk in the door after working the office and know I was on my own (apart from the cats). Not to have bikes, random socks and part finished projects cluttering up my living space would be bliss!

It's just me and my DS. Absolutely love it. (Might love it less as he gets older and wants friends round. 😱) But there's no man to get on my nerves, tell me what to do or disagree with how I raise DS.

No. I enjoy living with DH. It probably helps that we both have a similar attitude to tidiness, respect each others need for alone time, he pulls his weight on housework without having to be asked, and the house is big enough for us both to have our own space when we need it.

Slightly left field suggestion but have you ever considered getting a camper van?

I’m married and yes, I’d rather live alone.

I lived alone for years before I met DH and miss my little cottage and the tidiness. If I were widowed I’d get a dog.

No.

I want to slap my DH with a wet fish sometimes, as he can be a bit annoying sometimes (reading stuff out that he's reading on the internet/on his phone, and he has a habit of chatting over TV programmes when we're watching something and I have to tell him to shut up....) And he is quite lazy. SOMEtimes. But I have my flaws too, and for the most part he's OK to live with, and I enjoy his company sometimes - well more often than not.

I sometimes wish he would go out a bit more, and get a couple of hobbies, and I do enjoy time on my own when he's at work - or goes to bed at 8.45pm (coz I have the TV to myself. ) But when he's been doing long shifts at work, and has been at work 5-6 days in a row, I do miss him. We do have fun together, nice day trips/trips out together, and meals out, and nice nights in together.

It makes me realise I wouldn't want to be on my own permanently. Maybe it's because we've been together 36-ish years and living together for 34 or so years, and being alone just feels weird and wrong now. I don't know if he will die before me, but if he does, I'm not looking forward to being alone all the time.

I imagine most people who are desperate to be alone/live alone don't have very good relationships. To be married/in a long term relationship and not want to live with your partner anymore doesn't scream 'solid, loving relationship' (to me.) JMO.

I live alone. It's heaven.

I do. Have done for 7yrs odd when DC moved out.

No way would I ever share my home with a man now.

Pets are allowed though! So are DC if they find themselves needing a roof. No way would I ever move in with, buy a home with, rent with a man. My home, owned outright, just for me ta. No cocklodgers here!

No I like living with my DH.

I live alone with dd

I am in zero hurry to change this 😄, I love my space

No. I like living with my family. I’d get my cleaner to come every day though.

The terraced house next door to mine is going to be on the market soon, and my DP (who’s lived with me for 13 years) is going to buy it so we have a house each. Can’t bloody wait.

Live by myself, well there is an ancient smelly spaniel as well, but man free, just the way I like it……

Yes but with cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

No. We do have separate bedrooms though.

No, I'm looked after really well by DH. He does more than his share and is neater than me. We do have a decent size house so we can get space if we need in separate living rooms or offices.

I am also lucky that he likes nice interiors, but he doesn't have an imagination for it. So he needs to see some inspiration. Once DH sees something he likes (out of the options I've shortlisted) he often spends his personal spends to top up to the fancy version.

One of the best things is that if I have an idea then he will back me 100% and put his all into getting the outcome I want. Similarly, I do the same for him. It is so nice knowing he is always there for me.

I don't think it does. Most men remarry quickly because they want someone to look after them. Historically, women have remarried for largely financial reasons. If you are financially independent, why would you marry and land yourself with someone else to look after?

I know I sound cynical but my experience of relationships is very much that men are actually looking for someone to take care of all their needs.

No! When I did live alone I could never be arsed to cook, and now DH does all the cooking…
Jokes asked, no. I’d rather live alone than with a shit partner, but I have a lovely husband who pulls his weight and makes the house a much nicer place to be.
