So who is a loner like me?
I've come to the conclusion that living on my own sucks. After two years on campus at uni, two years with mates, and two years with my girlfriend, now that I am living on my own it sucks. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew lots of people, but having just moved town to start a new job, and not knowing anyone, its boring. I guess you grow used to having someone to talk to.. Anyway just a whinge.. It's probably brought on by being broke (getting paid fortnightly is the devil's idea!) and having next to bugger all fuel in the car lol.. Dan... |

Prior to moving in with the one who loves me I lived on my own for 6 years in two cottages on farms. I just got too old and grumpy to put up with:
Psycho hose beast flatmates Everyone knowing what you were up to Arguing over what I was watching on MY Tele Listening to Bonking / Fighting / whatever in the next bedroom Being told that my ute needed to be in the garage less than some stinking hyundai enema Not being able to listen to Buckcherry as loud as I wanted to and if I wanted some company I could always crash in town because "You can't drive home in that condition" Having said that after I moved out of home for the first 5 years or so I had some pretty cool flatmates. Been happily married now for 5 years so I can't be all that unsociable. Living on your own isn't all bad. /RANT Regards, Tote :1syellow1

I'm on my own after sharing with friends in the past. A mate I met in year 7 shared with me for 4 years but has now moved in with his woman - fair enough after going out with her for 3. I think I'm a bit fussy because I don't like it when I make the effort to clean one week and others won't the next. Had to sort out a couple who are friends when they'd go out and we'd clean the place week after week. Now that I have a gf I do prefer the extra privacy of living alone as well. You need to sort out who gets what before you move in. So you might offer to pay a larger share for taking the master bedroom with ensuite and the carport or garage
If you are living alone, you need to spend some time every week socialising for it to work out OK. I do spend the weekend with friends, but I also like it when I get time alone without anyone bothering me. The big upside of sharing a place is splitting the bills! Rent before was $110 out of the $230 weekly rent. Now it's $160 a week in an older house half the size in a suburb 10km further out from the city

nah i still live at home, saving for a house. Not sure I could live with the 'peace and quiet.' When I move out it will be with a gf or a bunch of friends.

Yep, been living on my own for 9 years now. Got HEAPS of piece and quiet. Too much actually......... At least my ute doesn't have to panic about being kicked out of the garage. I do what I want, when I want, and however I want...... Sounds selfish, but that's just the way it is. Only drawback I can see (apart from lack of company) is that you have to do everything yourself. Well maybe. The times between doing things repeatedly can by flexible if you know what I mean. I think I've actually lost the plot, because I'm at the stage where I've had a gutfull of everything, and am looking to move back to Brisbane to be near family. See what happens I suppose. I hate traffic!! But there's plenty more to choose from in the female department.... Maybe my next room should be padded......... : : :togo: Ed |

Axeman82 - don't Flo and Sir Jo live in Kingaroy? You could take around some scones and make friends .....
I'm a shiftworker, and for the amount of limited time I see my other half (two ships passing in the night) I may as well be living on my own! It encourages you to use your brain to keep yourself occupied .... |

I know others live here, every time l cook they come out to eat...then dissapear again when the dishes need doing. Clothes mysteriously appear in the laundry. Strange noise can be heard from certain areas around the house. Luckily, l have my own sanctuary and l love 'my alone time' away from it all! God bless ipod:nutsycuck headphones and bedroom doors :

Yeah I live alone after an 11 year defacto marriage, I think I'm happier this way (most of the time anyway) , have my kids every couple of weekends. I dunno if I could live with a partner now, could handle living with house mates I think though as long as they weren't the whinging type, but I think I might be hard to live with, too used to doing what I want when I want to do it

Moved out of home & have been living on my own for 4 years.
I love it. 3 rooms, 2 stories all to me... Seems to be a few "living alone shift worker" types. Whenever friends do come over they always comment on how clean/neat the place is so that leads me to believe i couldn't share with anyone as they'd mess the place up. hehe. It's only tidy because it's easy to clean up after 1 person. Not hard to do dishes when they need doing etc etc. Worst part is covering rent. At times i think of all the things i could do if someone else was paying even 30% of the rent. Wouldn't be hard to get flat mates being close to UNI & transport. |

Some of the best times I've had have been when I lived on my own. Second year apprentice, XR6 ute (XH), rent money, living on rice (& whatever I could find to put in it), working probably 70hr weeks & partying like there was no tomorrow.. Bloody ace!
Having said that... life only gets easier from there!!

Been living alone for about 9 years now, had the odd interloper friend getting cheap rent for a few months. Getting set in my ways like this because I have the run of the place, do what I want when I want and not clean up when I want. :P
My last gf who I was with for 5 years wanted to move in, but I said no. Now she's an ex-gf. She was good enough to hang out with but not good enough to give up my nirvana for. Funnily, all my married mates rush over when they need peace and quiet from their wailing other halves and envy my solitude. It does have its moments but on the whole and having lived in share places and with a few partners, I'm lovin' in. |

Married for 8 years, divorced now for 5yrs. My daughter lives with me (shes 9)
so not really living alone, either working or looking after her- but wouldn't have it anyother way, leaves little time for the Aussie powered Mustang though but we go to the car shows in the summer which are usually held at fun parks etc Like having the place to ourselves tho, chill central : ) Ex wife was a total nightmare & went off the rails big time. Peace & quiet rocks :1syellow1 |

I'm living alone too. I wouldn't mind roomies or whatever, but it's hard to find ones to trust, that get along with the animals, that respect The Car. I hate people touching my things!
And disorganising my cd's & DVD's is just not on. My ex-husband (now) was a shift worker, so I guess I'm used to a lot of time by myself. I like being social though. But it's expensive by yourself. :( |

Lived with mates up in Darwin for awhile and depending on who was out bush at what time we'd get to spend about a month or so with the house to ourselves. Unfortunately now that ive come back to melbourne im at home with mum and dad again but currently looking at moving into a house my mate is hoping to buy. Gotta get out of home! lol
