If you were tired of living alone, which would you prefer, a husband/wife, or a roommate?

Very interesting question. I have a good friend and a girlfriend. A typical weekend has me hanging out with him on Friday night and her on Saturday night. He's a great cook, and she often tells me that he is a better girlfriend than she is. Lol. If I had to move in with one of them, it would most likely be my friend, not my girlfriend.
 
Well that's your choice Boss Paul. I would go easy and see what the girl friends doing.
Get a better girl friend is a better choice possibly.
 

I'm deliriously happy with my 2 roommates. Quiet. No drama.
Both are loving, warm, and worship the ground I walk on.
They don't cheat. Don't care if I work, in fact prefer I play.
Don't care what we watch on TV. Aren't glued to their iPhones.
They don't ask me to get them a beer, cigar, or girly magazines.
They always love my cooking, and always eat everything on their plates,
Well groomed. Quickly learned to obey me. Agree with everything I say.
They always make me smile and laugh...my Beagle and Pom-a-poo🤗
 
A couple of weeks back I said "roommate who gives hugs and cooks would be nice". Having lost my wife of 40years 5 years ago now I have been trying to find a companion (and I stress 'companion") to help me save my sanity from way too many hours sitting alone with nothing but my own thoughts.
I daily read of individuals that are unable to pay their rent without having to resort to relying on the food bank to put the basics on the table. Despite on several occasions offering accommodation in return for a little company and household help few if any ladies seek to find out more.
No doubt that my out of town rural location makes it all but impossible for those with no transportation to even consider such an offer, this along with a male offering such a hand up to female (GASP) further limits the takers.
The bottom line is that for a single older widow to find someone to drag him out from under his rock of long days of loneliness without giving up his 30 acre forested hideaway for an apartment in town (no bloody way) is next to impossible even with the offer of ZERO rent.

Thank goodness for my doggie companion who keeps me occupied letting him in and out to chase the Chipmunk out of the bird feeder.
 
I've been married 2x. The only life I know is to live with someone who loves me and I love them. I am widowed now and live by myself. I cannot tell you how hard it is. I miss the immediate responses, laughter, problem solving, someone to lean on, etc. Most of all I miss the touch of a man letting me know he is there for me.

Therefore, I would pick living with a husband again, or lover. Roommates don't full fill my needs.
 
Interesting question… I might settle for a wife or live-in girlfriend, not a husband, though there might be some nice ones out there.

I have noticed a younger roommate has a tendency to take your vehicle for days, weeks at a time. A friend from Indiana was telling me of her deliMa. Cops finally found her white Buick after a month or so, Insurance wrote her a $10,000 check. Now she has no Buick. She says the bus option is an all day ride. I thought great! She qualifies for medical rides that are spotty.

Take care of who one invites in to stay is an elderly thought.
