I have lived on my own for 7 years now and I have hated being on my own every day of those seven years. Yes, I do appreciate that I'm able to travel at the spur of the moment without having to ask anyone, to be able to have my meals or not at any time of the day, to stay in bed if I don't feel like getting up, to do what I want whenever I want and so forth. But I have no doubt I would give that up in a heartbeat for a loving relationship.
