Just separated from ex, I married really young. Didn't know who I was or what I wanted, there's just so many things I want to do with my life now. And I do want to be in a relationship again, not now obviously but later.

However I don't want to live with another man again. I just want us to have our own houses and see each other like that. When I explain this to my mum, she's like Hmm. But I just can't live with another man again, I like my space too much.

Anyone feel like me?

I can see the attraction of just staying on your own and having a relationship.
I don't see why you have to tell your mum though. You sound like you're turning it in to a thing rather than just getting on with living how you want. Eventually people will realise you're not living with anyone.
If you announce this sort of stuff as a policy statement it can come back to bite you on the bum if you change your mind.

Nomore than a divorce biting you on the bum when you change your mind about being married Grin

I won't live with anyone again, I probably won't be in a relationship again either.

I'm in my thirties with children. I've been on my own 4 years, it suits me. I know what i like, where i like to go, how i like to do things. I dont want to consider another adult all the time. I have no interest in compromising any aspect of my life in order to meet someone halfway. I am happy as i am.

I just could not do it again. Bleurgh. Like my own company.
