I talked with a friend last night who is currently living alone... we talked about the pros and cons and agreed that the independence is lovely but things do get lonely from time to time. I should have suggested she get a cat, huh?

Let's see.........moved into my first place at 19, met The Ex and he all but moved in with me, married him the next year, had DD1, moved back to my parents, had DD2, moved out on my own again 7 years later and by 2009 DD1 had moved in with her boyfriend and DD2 was living with her father. In 2010, DD2 moved backed in with me for a couple months (Aug-Oct) and in late 2011, when DGD was born, DD2 moved back in with me and is still here.
So I guess I lived completely alone for 21 months out of 24 in the last 15 years. And I have to say I really, really miss it some days.
After all these years of it just being me and my kids or just me, I already know I'm to set in my ways to ever live with someone else. Actually, I've been set in my ways since I was a teenager and despite our many differences, The Ex and I rarely disagreed on how things in the house should be kept so living with him wasn't as bad as it could have been. Of course it helped that he had his dart league that took him out of the house every Tuesday or Wednesday and tournaments every few weeks that got him out of my hair on a weekend night. I know a lot of wives that hated their hubbys being out for those matches while I was happy to be able to count on the time alone after DD1 was down for the night.
