Living alone is wonderful.
After living with my parents, I lived alone for the first part of my adult life and I enjoyed it.
Then I got married, and for the next 15+ years lived with another, then with children. What a difference. While I enjoyed that part of my life as well at first (having a partner to do things with, etc.), gradually over the years it got bad. I ended the relationship (with my partner, not my kids
) after realizing that I had very little of "me" left. My choices and day-to-day activities were pretty much not my own. Leaving the relationship allowed me to regain that part that makes me "me".
Now I live alone, and the peace I have is beyond words. Being able to make my own choices, without another judging me is wonderful. Being able to express myself, without being told I'm wrong or having it "explained" to me correctly, almost makes me cry. Knowing that when I clean up, it will stay clean until I leave something out is very empowering.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not anti-marriage or anti-partner. But, there are some very definate sometimes subtle things that you have when you live alone, that you don't realize are there until they're gone. Alternatively, if you've never lived with someone else, you never fully appreciate the freedom you have when you live by yourself.
For me, I don't know if I'll ever live with anyone else again. It would take alot of trust for me to risk putting myself out there again.
The best thing I can tell you is to enjoy the freedom that you are going to have. Use the time to discover yourself, then if you choose to live with others later, you'll have a good solid place from which to compare both.
