To be 24 and never want to live with a man again?

[heywassuphello]

Anyone else?! 😩

Go the 60 year old lady with a midweek visit and the odd weekend together! She has the best of both worlds.

YANBU I’m 31 and have never lived with a man. I’m not looking to at the moment as I enjoy my own space and rules too much, I’m hoping I find a man who enjoys the same.

I think once my DC are older and moved out then I probably would but I’m in no rush.

Gosh. Not very many saying ‘no, it’s wonderful, wait fir the right one!’ That’s interesting.

I live with DH.for around 12 years. Tonight I’m dreaming of living alone. It’s really hard living together. Would I miss it? Not sure I would.

Sorry you are having such a tough time. It will be a roller coaster for a while but it will smooth out. Honest. Never say never but enjoy your freedom while you have it. Hope DC are better soon.

I also didn't live with a man until I was 37, and that was only because we had a baby after a happy 5 years living in different countries.

Yes, I would hold the line on this one.

Really wish I had done that at 24.

You are on the right track.

I'm 57 now. Looking forward to the only having a man over occasionally at weekend one night in the week. etc.

Agree so much with this. Having a partner that visits but lives elsewhere is the dream.

I wish I realised that at your age

I hear you! I want to live man-free too, and planning on doing so in the very near future. After having spent 20 years cleaning up after, cooking for and listening to a man snore/fart/grunt I am more than ready to be free.

I’m married and happy enough but l totally get this!

You have done amazingly well to realise this so young. Took me till my forties to divorce my waste of space ex. Flabbergasted by how much nicer it is. Peaceful, bliss, singing and dancing happy house nowadays.
Every day on mn I just feel so sorry for the women posting about their dickheaded husbands; oblivious to how much nicer their lives would be to divorce them.

Split with XH 4 years ago. Am now 45yrs. Can honestly say l don't want to share my home and especially my bed with another man. I LOVE being "free" and not having to consider anyone else
.... and l love starfishing every night!

My lovely partner and me don't live together and never will. We are in a very committed relationship of over 3 years.

It's wonderful and by far the best relationship I have ever had.

your life your choice

Congratulations for learning this at such a young age, OP. You won’t have the wasted years and decades that so many women rue.

I'm 45 and never want to live with a man again!

Wow, love this post. Married 33 years, love him but woukd I do it again if he shuffled? Hell no.. Would bonk the brains out of some middle aged, grateful guy but after that no. I am not cooking, washing or sharing my lovely superking bed. I am lucky I have great girlfriends. And two fab children. Get a dog, they love you more x

Absolutely! Happiest I’ve ever been now, no arguments in our house, no having to put up with things like smelly shit smells, no compromising, just me and my girls getting along.
Don’t want to date again and certainly don’t want one of them living in my lovely house.
Well done OP on looking on the positives. I’m glad you feel free, I do too.
Everything will get easier for you. Just date when do eventually meet someone, like a pp’s sussed Aunt!

I'm 37 and lived with partners since I was 20, split up with the father of my son 2 years ago and have lived alone since.

I have a boyfriend who also has children. We live separately but see each other at weekends and one night in the week. It's a really perfect arrangement and I love having my own space as well as being with him a few nights a week.

Living alone is expensive and not great for cooking though, always loads of left over food!

YANBU.

If anything happened to my husband I don’t think I’d make any effort to find anyone else.

There ARE good men out there but bloody hell they're thin on the ground!

I’m sorry you’ve been left in such a shit situation, I hope your children are feeling better soon.

Spot on! Lots of jerks out there (make and female I might add) and I couldn’t be bothered.

Think I would just go travelling, picking up a bit of temp work here and there. Nothing permanent.

I wish I'd figured this out at your age. I'm sorry this has happened to you I love being single and I'm 45 and have no interest in a relationship at all. Well, except briefly when I watch or read some romantic claptrap and feel nostalgic, but it quickly passes when the memories of reality kick in. Enjoy your babies. I have 3dc and our lives are so much better without men in it.

I split up with DS's dad when I was 23 and vowed never to live with a man again. 31 now and still feel that way, I now own a home that I've bought myself and I'm certainly not sharing it with a man.

God this is so true !
I lived with/married one at 29 and had one child - still amicable
I now live with one for 5 years with one child nearly 3 years old , but fuck me, I’ve no tolerance anymore. Sometimes when I’m messaging friends he thinks I’m messaging men 🤷‍♀️
And I always say I WOULD NEVER BOTHER WITH ANOTHER ONE !
My mum had been single for 20 years and at the time I couldnt understand why she didn’t want to meet someone (was only 50) but now I totally get it
Friends to go for dinner etc
Friends for dog walking
Sees me and the kids every week
Does/eats/watches/etc what she wants

Literally living her best life

I’m actually seriously considering binning my current relationship off to be single with my DS

COMPLETELY SICK OF MEN TBH

The irony is when people express sympathy for us poor divorced single women 😂😂😂

It does my head in "aw you will find someone soon enough. You deserve to be happy" - yes, I know. That's why I'm choosing to stay single! I'm happy! Strangely, most of the people who have said this have never lasted in their relationships.
