Lark, living alone has pros and cons. I'm at the opposite end of life from you. I live alone except for my critters. Sometimes it's wonderful, sometimes it sucks. Kind of like living with someone.
coming home to a house with no one else there -
con - empty house and no one to talk to
pro - after a hard day I don't have to talk to another human being until the next day
On the plus side for me -
I come and go as I please.
I eat what I want when I want.
If chores don't get done I have no one to blame but myself. (I used to feel taken advantage of by hubby because he did not do any chores.)
It does get lonely sometimes though. Like when I've had a bad day and need someone to hold me and tell me it will be okay. When something exciting happens in my life and I want to share the news.
When I start feeling like "poor me" because I'm alone I stop and weigh the pros and cons. For me the pros win out. And I've looked for ways to lessen the hurt of the cons.
