If you went right from living with parents to moving in with SO/getting married

Do you regret not having had the chance to live alone?

I've always wanted to live alone. In fact I LOVE it when there's no one around. I don't want to live with FH, the slob. Are you sure we can't get like, apartments in the smae building or something? LOL. I guess I just have always wanted to do things MY way!

Sometimes I regret never having the chance to live alone but I think it was more important to live with DH before we were married then it was to live alone.

I think living alone is extremely important before getting married. There's nothing like being on your own...becoming independent, IMO. Chat Icon

DH never lived alone and I regret it for him...it would have made things *much* easier on us.

I do not regret not living alone. I would be terrified to be on my own Chat Icon

I do wish I had had the chance to experience that. I never even went away to college.

I only lived "alone" at college for a year.... but DH was at the same college so we were together all the time anyway!
I don't regret it though, because living at home with my mom allowed me to $ave $ave $ave so we were able to afford our house pretty youngChat Icon

same here. and i wonder if living alone might have made me more used to doing things my own way and therefore more difficult to live with.

I didn't but DH did. I never had the desire to live alone. I think if it's something you think you want you should at least try it otherwise you might regret it.

I have wondered the same thing about both of us. DH never lived alone either.

I lived in Manhattan for a year. Had the time of my life. I sowed all of my oats before making the decision to move in with my husband. Best move I ever made.

Re: If you went right from living with parents to moving in with SO/getting married

The best thing I did for myself was getting my own apartment when I finished grad school. I lived alone for 7 years. But I know people who went from their parents house to their married homes and have no regrets.

Also, since I had no idea when I'd meet DH, there was NO way I'd live with my folks indefinitely, even though they're great.

I never really had the chance to live alone except in college for a semester. I don't really regret it... well maybe a little bit.

Re: If you went right from living with parents to moving in with SO/getting married

I lived alone when I was in college and then after college I moved back in with my mom until I got married. I dont regret not living on my own after college that much....but I do regret not moving into the city for a year or two to have that experience.

I'm not good being by myself. I get lonely. I like to be alone sometimes, but I like the feeling of having someone else around. Whether is was my parents or now DH.

It was great for me because I am very independant.

Ditto. Adjusting to living together was pretty easy, though.

You need 2 houses connected by a love bridge, like Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera Chat Icon

I lived alone off and on for about 10 years,a nd so did DH. I loved it and miss it sometimes. I don't think it made it harder to live with DH, but there are definitely compromises on both sides.

my sister moved from my parents house into an apt with her now husband. she definitely regrets not having her own place first.

I recommend living on your own first if at all possible.

I think it's different for everyone. I was TERRIFIED of being lonely when I first got my own place, but I adjusted rather quickly and loved it!!

when DH moved in with me, it wasn't really that hard to adjust to living with him... I guess I'm lucky Chat Icon

I never had the desire to live alone. I freak out too easily, so I like the idea of always having someone around Chat Icon
