I got divorced in 2008 after 24 years of marriage. I love my freedom, I love to be able to come and go as I please, cook only if I want to, have the remote control to myself, etc. I am not dating at this point but wonder if/when I do if I will ever find a man that is content to live in his own place and me live in mine. I am not sure that I will ever want to marry again. Right now my idea of a nice relationship is him having his own place and me having mine, but dating and being involved. Is there anyone out there that is doing this? How long have you been together? Does this sould appealing to people or not?
My Dad's cousin has been living apart from her boyfriend for 20 odd years in England. She got a divorce in the late 80's but never moved in with the boyfriend or let him move in with her.

Ah yes.... The joys of singleness!
I remember those days. I will probably have the exact same feelings you are having.
Maybe if more people had their own life they wouldn't be such a burden on their spouses life.
There are suppose to be girls nights, guys nights - and such. You shouldn't have to spend every waking hour with them because that's the only way they are happy.
I thought I would want this, after the breakup of a five-year long cohabiting relationship, once I was in my own place and dating. Living alone is fine and all, but honestly, I did it for quite a few years before said cohabiting relationship...I'm pretty good at it, but am also kind of "Eh...it was fine in its time and place, but my life is better now sharing space with the person I love." I just feel like I've moved on from my years of living in a solitary manner...it was good for where I was at that time, but now it's something I'm ambivalent about. I don't have a lot of personal space needs, and I just enjoy living together more than maintaining two separate residences. At this stage, I'm not really particularly invested in living alone, though it's alright. My SO has lived alone for a long time, and he's at the stage where he's ready for something different, as well. The plan is to be in the same house before summer's out.
I think I'm the type of person that will always have my own place. Even if eventually (waaayy down the road) I decide to live with someone, I will own property so I have the option.
I live over 1000 miles from mine. I fly there about 7-8 times a year.
