Add me to the list of fantasizing about living alone - we have 6 people in a 2100 square foot house My parents’ condo nearby is empty most of the year and is really nice to have when I want to host my book club or DH and I feel like just watching a movie with takeout on a date night. Or say a kid is home from school and it’s one of our twice a month house cleaner days and we want to be out of her hair.
I never did appreciate living alone as much as I should have! I was eager to move in with DH, so I only was on my own for a couple years.
DH bought our first place and lived there about 7 months before we got married. My MIL was SOOOOOOOOOOO concerned about my moving in before the wedding. I was like listen lady, I'm going to have to live with this guy the rest of my life. I'm staying at my place until the last minute. I only stayed over probably 3 times, usually I went back to my own house.
