I lived alone for 5 years, the last 1 1/2 with a steady girlfriend who lived with her parents. She never stayed during the week and on weekends I spent more time across the river at her folks house then she did at my place.
Even when we got engaged, she stayed with her folks. After we got married, I shut the place down, sold all my stuff and we rented an apartment where we bought the minimal to get us started.
Been married 25 years to that lovely gal.
That is fantastic. Such great memories I am sure. Here is to 25 more....and 25 after that.
