What are the benefits and pitfalls of living alone?
Freedom to come and go where and when you please is probably number one reason.
I can decorate my inner space purely with my style of decor. No one to say, "Not there Honey, Put it in the attic"
I have sole control of the remotes, can have MY music as loud as I wish, Go Engelburt Humperdinck.
Do not have to engage in idle āChit Chatā 24 hours a day. A blessing for sure.
The only drawback being when waking and my hormones telling me I need company
AND youāve got no one else to blame if something goes wrong.
You just donāt want your prejudices questioned
By a perceived lesser intellect
Which is a good thing. Forcing us to take responsibility for our actions
Who does?
Whoa, living dangerously there Mr Spitty
Also talk to yourself . Having an argument with yourself could be tricky .
Just one reason for not pairing up, there are many others
Your not wrong there RS
Especially if you lose.
I can keep my maggots and lugworms in the fridge!
i lived alone for a good 12 months and loved every minute.
No one to answer too,cook for,oh the list goes on,but i re-married and love that too.
I have lived alone for 15 years since my husband died . After the initial shock and distress I got used to being alone but I find the older I get the more I wish I had someone in my life.
I might try living alone, Iām torn between the benefits and the downsides.
Iām already at the weekend breaks alone phase
There are no downsides to living alone, and I speak from experience because Iāve chosen to live relationship-free for over 20 years. Thereās nothing I need or want from having a woman around 24/7, nothing at all. I know women who feel exactly the same way about men, and why wouldnāt they! Itās natural to want peace and quiet at a certain time in our lives. If I want some company - which I donāt - Iād get a dog, because theyāre unfailingly glad to see you arrive home and cost a lot less. I think thatās why women love cats, too.
