I live alone, and I love it. I love coming home at night and not having to worry about what's for supper. I love not having to be waked up several times a night to roll a snorer over after he wakes me up, and being perpetually sleep deprived. I love being able to stay on the computer all night, or watch what I want to watch on t.v. without an argument. I love not having to have sex...seriously! I mean, sex is great, but I just don't need it that much, so having to have it to please a man is not my cup of tea. I even find myself breaking dates because I'd rather just be here reading or doing whatever.

O.K., so I contradicted myself on another board saying I couldn't get over my ex, and that's true, but the thing is, I don't think I would ever want to LIVE with him. I'm not sure I would ever want to live with anyone. I've only lived with one man since my divorce (many years ago), and that was a big mistake. The live in relationship lasted 4 years, and it drove me insane!

Having to pick up after him, cook for him, clean for him, watch him get fat eating junk food, all just made me long to be alone.

So is it unhealthy NOT to ever want to live with someone or be married again? Is it age related (I'm over 40)? Maybe hormone related?

I'm glad I found your post! I was just starting to wonder if I was normal too! My ex & I broke up a 13 months ago, and I have been perfectly happy to be single & free. I lived with one ex straight out of high school for 2 years, then met my last ex 2 months later, and we lived together for 3.5 years. I cant even imagine wanting to EVER live with another man again. It is just so much easier when you get to eat what you want, clean when you want, sleep, watch TV, travel, etc how you want. I think I'm still not quite over my ex yet too, that may be part of my problem. But I honestly cant imagine living with or being in another serious relationship any time soon. Like the pp said, sometimes I get lonely & want a guy, but its usually after listening to a friend brag about something her bf did, or watching a sappy movie. So, I dont think your strange or anything. If your life is full & happy, why change?
