Living alone

[Cuchilo]

I live alone and love it . Ive had a couple of mates stay while they get themselves sorted after break ups and they want to stay living with me
I will never offer a spare room again ! Yes money can get a bit tight at times and having to deal with everything aswell as running a business can get very tiring but I wouldn't change it ..... Unless Mrs right comes along that is .

I wish i lived alone sometimes.. Bloody kids squeezing the middle of the toothpaste and the wife always leaves the toilet seat down.....


hmmm maybe I just need an en-suite to myself

I've only lived alone for 18 years, I'll let you know in due course how it's working out, but it's fine so far.

I guess on th eplus side I do get to set up my turbo in front of the tv set, have a full midi guitar rig in the living room, and spend more time than many cycling around. I don't have to listen to rubbish dance music or watch x factor, and I can sleep with the windows wide open in a thunderstorm. I can have the heating set at a sensible level instead of sauna settings and I can eat what I like.

On the other side I miss having a family, and somebody to laugh and joke with.... and clean my bikes for me

I lived alone since my accident and divorce some 24 years now, I'm alone, but not lonely I like my own company but there are times when your out at functions that you feel like a spare prick at the wedding, I did at my sisters 65 birthday every one had a partner except me and I was left on my own, so I left early.
Now at the age of 62 I feel that I have left it too late and too stuck in my ways now and I would not want to change and I think that I'm better on my own.

I consider myself very lucky. I live alone through choice and thoroughly enjoy it. I have lived with partners before and, as the female of the species you maybe surprised to hear that i lost a lot of money due to a man, yes a man rather than it being the other way round. So to be fair that's not happening again !

All day at work i am surrounded by great people and my working day can be very long and quite stressful at times so i treasure my time alone at home as i am very happy in my own company,i think i'm nice you see. I have a great social life with my friends so i never really feel lonely. Funnily enough a lot of my female friends the same age as me, i am 45, are in a similar position, women who have chosen their career over other things, i think it's a generational thing. None of them to my knowledge are missing living with someone as they relish the independence and freedom that it brings.

Do i miss living with someone, no i don't but being totally selfish if you could just pop in when i need you that would be great at a push you could move in next door

Ha, I know of a married couple locally where the woman lives at number 8 and the man lives at 8 1/2. Together but with separate front doors next to each other. It's an unusual arrangement but it must suit them or one of them would have moved further away.

I'm now a loner - I could say that it's because of a broken heart or I could just call it deep disillusionment - but that's the way it is. I did have a bit of a shock last night, mind. I rarely go out but a good friend was playing a gig and I found myself in a pub surrounded by people I had not seen in years. I got so nervous about being in company that I spend a fair amount of time sitting on my own at the back of the pub. That would never have happened, say, 5 years ago. It took me about an hour and a selection of real ales to get over it. It's possible to lose that knack of sharing space with friends, close and distant, and complete strangers when you spend most of your time on your own. And strangely I'm more relaxed outdoors - it's as though social rules are different outside - and I haven't lost that knack yet.

It could catch on.

Helena Bonham Carter and her hubby Tim Burton do it. When the kids are playing up she just sends them next door.

I have lived alone since I moved out of my parents house 21 years ago. There have been times when I've been jealous of couples but mainly I love being on my own and struggle to imagine how I'd cope with another person in the house.

If I lived alone I think I would starve to death, no bills paid whilst wearing tatty un-ironed clothing.
Bless Mrs Ian.

I lived with my parents for 28 years, and 6 months with a girlfriend. I am now 57 years old so I have spent the second half of my life living alone. I don't anticipate that changing in the future. Who would have me? Who could I put up with?

Sky multiroom has saved me a fortune in divorce fees. I love being married and wouldn't trade my mrs for all the tea in China (a 2014 Di2 Roubaix and a deal could be struck though).

I have been alone in the house this afternoon since coming back from a ride, I was very glad when Pam came in too feed and water me. Married to the perfect partner for nearly 40 years, I hope I go first when the time comes, as I sure do not want to live without her.

same as rockymountain , i been with the wife for 26 years and love it . i work alone most days and enjoy my own company lots . not sure living alone would be for me as i like,need the company of a good or bad women and the benefits they bring . got to say when the wife and kids go away it is lovely to be free as nature intended to be sometimes without said kids vomiting all over the place and killing what little self esteem i have left

I lived alone for about 7 years after my then fiancee fecked off within 6 months of buying a house , turned out i was her way out of the parents house and she had no intention of staying so that really kicked me in the teeth with regards to relationships and it was not till i met the now Mrs CK that i got over it.
Been together 16 years now and although you never get a moments peace with the kids etc it beats how close i came to just walking in front of a bus.
