I'm starting to wonder if almost 90% of people rather live alone if money wasn't an issue. ( cause sometimes alone can be pricey ) but I've even noticed some ppl would put up with the

price just to have that space. Interesting...

Thanks for the support guys. It was either live alone in this nice condo or move back the really nice town i lived but couldn't afford alone and would have to live with a stranger.

It was a tough choice because that area is beautiful and i will miss it but I don't think I could handle living with a stranger when I have the opportunity to live alone even tho it might be scary.

We all have to grow up sometime right? Try it solo?

i've always had a roommate.

i TOO easily go nutso when left all by myself for longer than half a day. i need another physical presence. it keeps me connected. even if i rarely see my roommate, I just like knowing someone is there. And I've always had male roommates. Very clean, professional, older, respectful, fun, male roommates. if you're smart going in, it's not all bad. honestly the worst problem I've had with my roommates is that my last one was too clean. no joke. ocd. i could've chucked my food across the kitchen and eatin it off of whatever surface it found.

I've never really had a roommate per se. I did have borders renting from me Jan - Mar this year. The Pisces was fine and pretty much kept to himself, but the Aqua got totally under my skin and was dumb as rocks! And it wasn't just me, my kids felt the same - my daughter was patient, would smile and nod trying to limit conversation but my son refuses to interact with stupid people so he avoided her all together. Other than that, the only other people who have lived with me/or I them I was in some sort of relationship with. I have no qualms about living alone though.
