I have lived alone for the past 4 years, since my second wife and I separated. I also lived alone between the time my first wife and I split up and I got married again, except for one semester of graduate school when I had an apartment-mate. That was a disaster. At that point in my life, having just separated, I really needed to be alone, to heal up inside, and I felt an apartment-mate was a foreign object invading my environment and privacy. It wasn't the apartment-mate's fault at all. I look forward to living with a significant other someday again. But for now, even though it is more expensive living alone, I am making the best of the advantages: control of my living space (I like the "thermostat" and "leaving the door of the bathroom open during a shower" examples), having a place where I can get away from it ALL. -- "If that's true, then I'm the Pope!"
