I have boundary issues that I am working on. I really never want to share a dwelling again. I want to keep my own apartment with my stuff that I can escape to. I don't want to live with some one and be told what is and is not acceptable. I want my own space. I was married 16 years. The second bedroom was all my stuff. It was all girled out. I had tons of stuffed animals, dolls, toys, etc. I had my own t.v. with DVR, etc. And a love seat I often slept on. It was "the Terri Room". I often went in there and hung out for hours which was a programmer my ex husband was fine with because it meant he could program in peace. He programmed open source in his free time after programming all day. It was his thing. I like having the "whole Terri apartment". I don't want to give it up for anybody. Not even Mr. Right. Does anyone else feel this way? Of course I am not interested in marriage. I almost married the Texan but realized it would be a horrible mistake. He went on about the "flaming" well you can fill in the rest on Chelsea Lately, etc. I love my flaming comedians. He could go watch Pawn Stars and Storage Wars and I could go watch The Soup, etc. Anyone else who has been married and is now single feel this way????

Well, I must admit that I enjoy not having to share the covers on my bed with anyone. Plus, I can be online as much as I want to.

some people that may be the case. and its not a bad thing. but i will tell you from experience, an empty bed at night sucks. the greatest feeling in the world to me is havin someone sleep by you.

I used to really mind the empty bed. Now I sleep with twelve thousand stuffed animals and extra pillows.

I was dating a guy who I had an agreement not to have an agreement just if we dated someone else we had to say. I left him when I went to Texas. I was the first woman since his divorce he asked to spend the night. He was very upset when I left at 2 AM. To me staying until morning was just too much of a commitment. Maybe I am weird but staying for breakfast to me implied more of a relationship than I wanted.

And the stuffed animals don't steal your bed covers while you're sleeping.

Right now, but don't know about the future. Things change.
