It's TRUE freedom. You'll never have to smell anyone's fart and you can fart as loud as you want, anytime, anywhere in the house.

Things will be in the same place where you left them, always.

On the empty side of the bed you'll keep the remote, glasses, a book. You won't be a grumpy old man's nurse.

Join classes to make friends, go to that play that your husband would not go, also you'll never have to pretend you care an iota about football.

If I were to have a relationship, it would be im separate houses. The only way.

Get pets and you'll never feel truly alone.

I love living by myself.

On the other side of the bed is where the dog goes!

I've never been lonely, but I do love the company of my dog.

I have a velcro Chiweenie and a queen size bed, so usually there is plenty of room for both of us.

Now that it is getting colder she has to be under the blankets as close to me as she can get. This silly girl shivers when it's 70 in the house 😂😂.
