I would love to have my own bedroom. DH and I are together pretty much 24/7. He goes to his sports leagues and takes the boys to do stuff so I get down time. I go do my thing, but mostly we are together. I have always preferred to sleep alone. Really nothing to do with the partner. Just would rather have the bed to myself. I wouldn't want my own place though.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For me, I think the ideal is apartments on separate floors, right above/below each other. This has the advantage of separate apartments with the added opportunity for small tunnels through the ceiling/floor so our cats could move back and forth at will.
Y'all make me laugh. well, as a single person with no plans of a long-term relationship.
It makes me laugh, too, considering all the time I spent in my twenties whining, "I'm alooooooone. I want a husbaaaaand. I want a baaaaaaaby. I'm alooooooone." And now, ten years later, "Gah! Too much husband! Too much baby! LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE!"
"Gah! Too much husband! Too much baby! LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE!"
Get out, get out, GET OUT!
My alone time is at work, mostly. Children under 3 don't really get the whole "alone time" concept. But, I hear tell eventually they grow up and go to school and learn to read and atuff! For now, this is why God invented PBS Kids.

You think they will never want to leave your lap, then next thing you know they are gone off with their friends all the darn time. Yippee!! I didn't get the clinging gene.
Get out, get out, GET OUT!
No shit.
When my girlfriend recently went through her housing issues, several of her friends asked her why she didn't just move in with me and her response was 1) Way too soon 2) His place is way too small which pretty much summed up my opinion on the subject as well. While my apartment is a comfortable size for me on my own, it's not really two people friendly. Especially not when one of those people is an introvert.
Honestly, I'm not in any hurry to get to the moving in together phase. I've already jokingly griped at her about assorted stuff she's started leaving at my place so she has less to transport on the weekends she's staying with me.
It's good to hear from you, Toddson. I'm glad all is mostly well.
