One can become weird(weirder) living alone.
Yes, if you’re single, it does help to be well-off. Sounds like a truism, but it’s true.
my house payment is $550 a month(3 bedroom). the apartments across the way from me are at around $900 for one bedroom.
I disagree with this article...
All four of ours live alone. Two have roommates. One lives at Gramdma’s but is a OTR trucker so he’s gone 5-6 days a week.
The other is alone. She’s a book editor and loves her hermit lifestyle.
The trucker had a drunk destroy his parked pickup a few days ago while he was on the road. He’s having fun trying to settle that whole thing from far away.
"the stigma associated with not being partnered. “It’s oppressive, always getting pitied,”
Heh, well I'm envied by all my 'partnered' friends, and I don't envy them for a moment.
I see where this is headed. We rented a 4 bdrm house one time in FL. The previous renters were Mexicans and according to my Puerto Rican neighbor, there had been up to 30 people living there. I noticed the dirt marks on the walls of one closet looked like someone had been sleeping there.
All to be part of the New Normal, Build Back Better, Great Reset.
You’ll own nothing and be happy renting a house from Larry Fink for you and your extended family and friends.
What a bunch of Horse, cow, and donkey Schiff!
I own all three of those animals. I could add in
chickens, and a few others.
Liberal publications are not suitable for normal humans,
just for sick people that need drugs to survive.
Drugs like covid vaccinations or SSRIs.
KRAMER: What are you thinking about, Jerry? Marriage? Family?
JERRY: Well...
KRAMER: They’re prisons. Man made prisons. You’re doing time. You get up in the morning. She’s there. You go to sleep at night. She’s there. It’s like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. Is it all right if I use the bathroom now?
JERRY: Really?
KRAMER: Yeah, and you can forget about watching TV while you’re eating.
JERRY: I can?
KRAMER: Oh, yeah. You know why? Because it’s dinner time. And you know what you do at dinner?
JERRY: What?
KRAMER: You talk about your day. How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? Well, I don’t know. How about you? How was your day?
JERRY: Boy.
KRAMER: It’s sad , Jerry. It’s a sad state of affairs..
JERRY: I’m glad we had this talk.
KRAMER: Oh, you have no idea.
All depends on the personality of person living alone. Majority are actually more social than partnered folks. Some living alone can turn weird by losing sense of reality.
Captain Obvious strikes again. I have a good lifetime friend who’s always been a bachelor and he’s beginning to admit that he’s going to be a big lonely as age advances.
I’ve been lucky enough to have had one wonderful wife (now deceased) and a second one just as wonderful. It is a blessing, and I cannot imagine not having a partner there besides me to help with the rough times.
A song in the key of "memememememe!"
And no one give a flip when you drop dead.
Or if you get sick.
Or you are sad.
Or have had a rough day.
And your JOB (something that few people seem to take seriously) also decides when you sleep, when you get up and when you eat.
Living alone has benefits too.
No apartment others burning down the building you live in with cigarettes or cheap li-ion scooters.
No one buzzing in people who don’t live in the building and causing problems.
No building rules that violate your rights.
No building people being able to enter your home without your permission on any number of reasons.
I wake up very early just about every day, while the rest of the house is asleep. I call it my “me time” - listen to the birds, do the crossword, whatever. That seems to be enough alone time for me.
Frankly I still don’t get how people form relationships in this day and age.
It may be easier to get weird/weirder living alone, but never underestimate the power of a snoring spouse to drive a person psycho.
I thought the Socialist Democrats WANT us all living ALONE, miserable, in dark caves with no electricity or modern conveniences, freezing and eating bugs. What gives? ;)
I’ve been single, and I’ve been married. Been happy either way, because I’m basically a happy person. And that annoys the heck out of them, LOL!
The only advice I have is that whether you are single or married, PLEASE be an America Patriot!
America FIRST, and EVERYONE on EARTH reaps the rewards. Keep tearing us DOWN and the chaos continues, here and abroad.
It really IS that simple.
I live alone and love it, but I don’t know any different. My main complaint is the lack of a handy man. They’re expensive and I feel uncomfortable having male strangers in my home. I need a man to do manly things - repair and paint walls, deal with new appliances, fix things, drywall, etc. etc.

Wow, an article about the obvious.
