I was in a relationship with a live-in boyfriend throughout my early 20s. Following the breakup I finally got a taste of completely independent life and I LOVE it, and then I met my current boyfriend. Things have honestly been great, and he has started bringing up the possibility of moving in together soon.
Here’s the thing, as much as I love him, I absolutely love living alone. I love having my own bathroom, eating whatever I want for dinner every night, only having to ever worry about my own standard of cleanliness. I love being able to be as weird as I want, I can go to sleep when I want, watch whatever I want, I can sleep in as late as I want without worrying about anyone else. I can set the temperature to whatever I want and keep all the windows open. I can control my electric and heating bill completely. I can watch weird Youtube videos all day and order pizza at 12am and not give a fuck. It’s amazing, I love it and I honestly really enjoy solitude in general.
I don’t know how to have this conversation and I honestly don’t know if I would ever want to live with someone again. Has anyone else ever been in this situation? I’m honestly not sure how to navigate it. I definitely don’t want to break-up, but I also don’t really want to live together.
TL;DR I love living alone. Boyfriend wants me to move in. I’m not sure how to approach this or find common ground that's fair to both of us.
