  I say, to each their own. I do not see anything abnormal in preferring to
live alone. Just bear in mind that a lot of potential SO's may want to
have a live-in relationship. You must decide which is more important to you.
Personally, I enjoy having someone to keep my bed warm every night, and it
seems absurd to pay the cost to keep up two places when you spend that much
time together anyway. I think it all depends on how much time you and your
current SO naturally want to spend together. I agree that I do not like 
sharing my place of residence with non-SOs. I like having complete control
over my environment. I would not want to give that up unless it is for a
reason that is even more important to me, like having "that kind" of
relationship. It's a tradeoff: for more closeness you get less "freedom" (for
lack of a better word to use).
