I always live with at least 2 people, and have lived with 10+ a couple times.

Currently i live with 4, have my own room and pay 111 for rent.

Usually the situations are good, noise levels and messy kitchen are my only concerns. Sometimes i think about living alone, but really, i dont think its worth it.

:shrug: i personally have never had a problem with roommates.  i'm currently rooming with my best friend and am having a blast.  it depends on you and your friends.  if either of you have abrasive personalities and you know it, then it probably won't be a good idea.

i'll probably end up getting a stranger for a roommate next year since i want to stay in the 2 bedroom townhouse apt i'm currently in, and my roommate wants to get a big house with a bunch of other guys.  maybe my opinion will change then.  but as of right now, splitting bills is fucking key to my financial survival.

Thanks for the replies people. The thing is, I've never lived all by myself in my entire life, and I was thinking it might be beneficial for several reasons. There is a part of me that needs to be very alone.

The other option is that I get a room to myself somewhere and make peace with that.

But the more I think about it, the more certain I am that I might be better off giving solo living a try...might be an adventure.

You're behind the times...I came out that I was gay and we are seperating our lives as friends to create space. (However now that I've had time to think about it, gay doesn't go far enough: I'm asexual) But I still need my space and have considered living alone lately. Divorce has come up casually a few times, but we're just going to live our own lives and see what happens within a new type of space. I want to be free of any exclusive relationship and so does he.

Of course husband and I still might be roommates. It's possibly the best option in this expensive state. It might be better to have a roommate or a few and then have lots of money to save for traveling to fun places and entertaining myself.

Wow.

Well, good luck with everything. That's good that he seems ok about the whole thing and that you two are remaining civil.

Well, we still love one another...the problem is that I am distanced from sex and that I don't want to force myself to do something that doesn't feel natural for me.  At the same time, I want all of his needs to be fulfilled, and since I can't do that, the only other thing to do is to enjoy what we have, which is a close friendship and trust, and let each other do their own thing.  That feels good to me. 

If you love someone, gotta set them free...you know.  :stoned:

It's all depends, varying from person to person. I really dig having roommates.

I live alone now for the first time in my life.  It's definitely got its benefits.  But it makes it impossible for me to save much money... I spend about 40% of my income on rent :frown:

I tried living with strangers out here and it was just too difficult for me.  I got along fine with the quiet/conservative ones and only had issues with the ones who were loud/annoying or in my business, eating my food, or anything of that nature.

My best roomate experiences have been with close friends... yes you will bump heads from time to time, BUT - at least for me - this made it easier to shrug off any conflicts at the end of the day because you know this person, and actually made my friendships with these people a lot stronger - I know I will cherish them as friends for the rest of my life having lived with them and shared a lot of great memories together. 

As long as your lifestyles are similar, you both commit to open communication and are willing to compromise when need be, it works out great.

Better to move in with a stranger than a friend. Odds are, if you move in with a friend, they won't be such a good friend once its time to move out. At least if you room with a stranger or acquaintance, then it doesn't matter if you part on bad terms or find out the other person has super annoying habits.

My last roommate robbed me.  He didn't think I knew, I waited till he was at work and took a massive shit on his bed.  :lol: he flipped and we beat the shit out of each other...then it was cool.
