I live alone and enjoy it very much. It was very scary at first as i had never done it before, but my roommate was buying a house and moving in with her boyfriend so I had no choice. I had never been alone. I had gone from home, to roommates, to husband and kids, to boyfriend for twelve years, and then me and my kids, to my roommate, and then it was just me on my own. I didnt think I could do it. But its great. Its been a year and a half. I make all the decisions. I can leave dishes unwashed, clothes about, not clean if i want. I can watch whatever i want on TV, go to bed whenever I want, make as much noise as I want, eat whatever, whenever I want. There is no one to judge me for anything I do. I love this freedom. I havent been in a relationship for over 9 years and every now and then I think about maybe I am ready, but then I think how it would mean giving up this freedom and I really dont want to lose this. I dont want to have to come home and cook for someone, clean for someone. Watch another persons tv shows. I like my solitary life very much.
