women don't like pee all over the bathroom floor and walls. now ya gotta clean up after your spill/drips.
women (some of them) cook great and to much. this makes us all fat.
women like to give and get oral treatment. this is a plus for everyone involved
women smell lovely themselves and they spray shit everywhere that smells like wildflowers, spring air, and mountain lillies from the valley.

perfumes make me sick. never eat your women's clothing if she dumps heavy perfumes on her bras and underwear.

living alone is filled with farts that don't need to be discussed in anyway shape or form. just let lose and be down with it. end of story.

the sink still has your spoon and bowl from the cereal you ate yesterday.

Have you ever considered becoming a spoken-word artist? I would attend every gig.

Walls?! You have got to work on your aim my friend.

Anyone else like their privacy, but hate living alone?


I've been feeling kind of down lately. My girlfriend was supposed to move in this month, but because of health issues keeping her from working regular hours, she can't afford to live with me for maybe another few months, even with me covering all rent and utilities. She's barely getting 8 hrs a week at her retail job and isn't feeling well enough to even work that. She's relying on her parents to pay for just about everything and needs them around. Surgery next month should, fingers crossed, make her better.


It never really hit me hard until now. The first time I left home I roomed with a best friend for a while. My first time in my own apartment was when I lived in the heart of the city and I was out partying every night anyways, so it never really phased me. I then roomed with another best friend and his girlfriend, but after a while, left because I felt like the third wheel and being in my 30s now, needed my own place.


So here I am. 6 weeks already at the new place. No girlfriend here.. yet. 40 minutes from my closest friends and family.. It's funny how living with others can get on my nerves, but I miss it now. It's too quiet. :?

I'm almost 32 and have lived with roommates ever since I left for college. I've been talking about getting my own place for about a year but I really have some of the same reservations you do and afraid it will be too quiet and lonely at times. I've lived with my brother for over 2 years now, and I love him to death and is a great roommate despite how messy he is, plus rent is cheaper this way. I keep thinking I should be living alone just to see what it's like, but I guess it's a little fear of the unknown.

Hang in there and hopefully things work out for the best with the gf and the living situation.

I got into my condo at 22; bf moved in at 25, stayed 4 years and now here I am, 32, living alone again for the past couple years.

I LOVE it.

Can have whoever i want over, whenever I want. No putting up with roommate's friends or family.
Only people that have keys are the people I WANT to have keys.
I can walk around wearing (or not wearing) whatever i want.
I get the washer and dryer to myself.
I can play whatever music I want, watch whatever I want on TV....never have to worry about it.
More closet space.
I can take a long bath and not worry about being disturbed.
No one uses my shit unless I approve it.
No one says shit when I get in at 3AM.
I can hang up whatever the fuck I want on my walls.


downside:
sometimes it can be lonely. thats what friends and such are for.
It would be nice to have someone share the expenses of owning and keeping up a home.
It would be nice to have someone who is able to do things like hook up my surrond system. Or help me go shop for a new one and install it. I LOVE to do projects around the house, but with electronics I am kind of a dipshit.

Hang in there, Gob! Try to see the positive aspects, there are lots of them, as others before me pointed out I've been living on my own since I moved out of my parents' place at 18 for most of the time and I love it. Try to start a hobby, go out, don't drown yourselves in your loneliness! It's great coming home and being able to do whatever you please I imagine that it can be hard if you are not used to it, though.

I would never again share my place with strangers just to pay the rent (that was the only reason why I did it twice :roll: ) and friends are to important too me to move in with them . I grew up sharing rooms with my two sisters who are about the same age as me, this is probably why I cherish my own space. I think the only chance that I moved in with someone would be with a partner, but the place would have to be big enough for two...

Good luck to you and your gf (I hope she's getting better soon!) and try to enjoy your "alone time"

I lived alone for 16 years,was very used to it and liked it a lot.
Then lived with my ex partner for 4 years,most of that time drove me nuts,not getting my own space and arguing about who's turn it was to the dishes :roll:
Have been living alone for about 18 months now,it has been a struggle to adjust to and I miss the nice things of sharing a space with someone,but in all I would rather live alone,I don't plan to live with anyone again.
I need my own space and to having no one else to think about.

It sounds like you miss your girlfriend and would like her to move in... hopefully soon.

Well, she can spend a night during the week with you, go out to dinner or better yet make her dinner since she is not feeling so well right now.

How about she spends the weekends with you... You have your space during the week and your girlfriend with you all weekend.

also, try and make new "friends" who live near by you.

I guess it's one of those things where the grass is always greener. I went straight from moving out of my mom's house to moving in with my hubby (yeah a couple years of living in sin there ) so I've never lived alone in my life. I am EXTREMELY jealous of anyone that does live by themselves or has at least gotten to do it for a time. Luckily he travels quite a bit so I do get some peace and quiet every now and again, and believe me do I look forward to those trips! It would be nice to come and go and do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, which is impossible when you're living with someone. So I guess what I'm saying is I get how it could get lonely sometimes, but do try to enjoy it while you have it!

Splendidly written

You pee on the walls,eat women's clothes and offer them sex several times a day and night AND perform oral treatment ... are you a dog,a washing machine a sex therapist or a dentist
