To say that living alone is better than sharing a home with anyone?

[MintZebra]

Even the best relationships or friendships don’t compare to the peace of living by yourself. AIBU to think solo living is the ultimate goal?

I like living with my ds, and I’m excited to live with my partner one day.

I like time to myself but I like living with others.

I agree with you OP. It's bliss.

I'm lonely as hell

I love living with my husband but up until I met him (at 50) I had never lived with anyone. I have had long term relationships but no one worthy of sharing my home with.

I love living alone. It's pure bliss.

I live alone and have done for six years now. I fucking love it!!!

I worry about a medical emergency living alone, or falling.

But that’s it. I HATE people on my living space. The only way I could share a home is if I was rich enough for us to have our own wings.

Just me & my cat, sharing our home.

After 10 years in a crap relationship, followed by lodging & then renting until I could eventually afford to buy my own place, this is pure joy.

I love living by myself with my two children and two cats. When I have had boyfriends in the past and they have stayed over it’s been ok in the evening but come morning I just want the house back to myself. I’m dying for them to leave again and practically throw them out 🙈🙈🙈

I can't imagine anything worse tbh

On this topic, I keep getting messages about living alone on FB / Insta, with pics of a single bed in a room, is this a 'thing' or something?

I bloody love it.
However, I share my home with twin 7 year old, 2 nutty dogs and 2 sociopathic cats.

I'm never living with anyone again. I like the peace. Any mess is my mess.

I would hate it, but do like a few days when the rest of the family take off sometimes.

The only way I could share a home is if I was rich enough for us to have our own wings.

Same.

I think it makes a huge difference if you’re doing it by choice.

I love hosting & socialising, but I can only recharge when I’ve closed my front door & everyone’s gone home.

I'm living alone post divorce and I honestly don't know how I'll ever live with anyone ever again now.

Except my cat.

No I really wouldn’t enjoy living alone. I like knowing someone else has locked up or helped to lock up, I like going to sleep knowing another adult is in the house, I like waking up and chatting, someone there after a bad day etc.

I love alone time but I actually hated living alone..

Having lived with three men in my time I will never live with another. I still have young adult sons so enjoy it when they’re home but also enjoy it when I have the house to myself for a few days. I feel I have the best of both worlds in that respect.

YABU

I love having dh around although after saying that we do have plenty of space- we have our own Studies/hobby rooms and I do like that private space. Not sure how we’d get on in a one bed flat!!

Edited to say we have our own bathrooms too which is bloody amazing 😂

In good health and comfortable financial circumstances, there is nothing to compare. I love it

Sometimes consider what I shall do if I get to the stage where it is no longer possible. Seriously hope never have to face that circumstance.

I've never lived alone. Just with my DH and one of my children these days, although we are about to get a dog. No I'd hate it

I’ve lived alone for 24 years and I absolutely love it. I will never live with someone else

If I had the money I would have adjoining houses, no doubt about it. There are just times when you want your own space with no one else in it, and no compromises required.
