Living alone is fun, enjoyed it. Living with someone i love is
more complex. There is private space, public space and the real
joy of having a friend who gives a toss.

Whatever works for each person. When you get older, being alone all the
time can be not the greatest. There is a lot to be said for the support
and joy of a loving family around you. If its not loving then what's
the worth, but if it is, then living in whatever partnership works is
what is... and we are always alone facing death anyways. Perhaps the
problem is that people get out of touch with that relationship busy
with another person and what she/he thinks.
