Loving living alone.

My husband died after nearly 54 years of a happy marriage. I had never lived alone in my life and couldn't imagine what it would be like, but I've found to my surprise that I actually like it, pretty much for all the same reasons Applecruncher just gave. Living in a planned retirement community helps, as there is no time to be lonely; you can have as many friends and activities as you want. But it's nice at the end of the day to just come back to my cozy nest and shut the door behind me.

And welcome to the Forum!
 
Hi all,
I don't even know if I've introduced myself and I should..so Hi! I'm Michelle!
I've lived alone most of my adult life. I've been fortunate to find men who have residences of their own and don't mind my not wanting them to live with me.
I'm single now (and looking!) and if I met someone who had to live with me I would reluctantly do it but I'd prefer someone who has their own place.
And, with what I think is my first post (I don't remember! :confused:) I'll sign off for now.
 
My mom lived alone for over 20 years and she really enjoyed it. After raising 5 kids and having a cranky alcoholic husband she deserved some peace and quiet and freedom. I like living with another person but that might be because my husband and I are very compatible. And we both have our separate interests. Namely I don't go fishing a couple times a week and he does. :) We are on our 51st year now and I think if he were to pass on before me I would probably live with someone else again, if a nice guy showed up. I don't see any reason to remarry though. And who says he's going first anyway. :)
