Moving in regret

Been with DP 4 years, happily live separately due to work location. See each other 3 times a week roughly, nice holidays and all easy going. He's independent and self sufficient, clean house etc

Both now in a position where we could live together (no work commute) , however, I struggle to find the enthusiasm. I've been divorced 7 years so I'm used to living alone, well just me and x1 teen DC.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and regretted it?

Does he want to?
You don't have to live together. If the relationship works as it is, why change it?

There's nothing to say you have to live together. If you're happy living separately then carry on, especially with a teen at home. Do they want to live together?

Moving in kills the spark. Don't do it. I'd never live with another man. I just don't find their lavatory habits attractive.

I think I feels like the next natural step, yes he's keen but understands if I don't want to.
Yes worried about loosing the spark and generally having to consider another person

We lived apart then moved in together and whilst I wouldnt say I regretted it I do have regular pangs for my own space, tidyness and a sense of living in some sort of order…
