Is it normal i think i might want to live alone even if i marry?

Like, I HATE being responsible for others. I’d like to worry about myself and no one else. However, if I do get married some day, I think it would be nice if me and my wife have separate houses, even if close together, and we come visit each other, rather than living together.

And that’s the thing, I’m fine with visitors, but ideally I’d love to just live alone and not share a house with anyone. I don’t know if I’d even want pets. Even though I like animals, as I said before, I hate being responsible for others.

    Then don’t get married. Just because society is pressuring you doesn’t mean it’s the right thing for you.

    I've thought about this as well, though I've decided I don't want to get married, or even get into another relationship.

    I'd say it's pretty normal. I agree, having a living space to yourself is bliss. You get to decide how you want to decorate, arrange furniture, etc., nothing gets messed up by other people, you're not constantly around another person, etc. I'm a very independent person who definitely craves plenty of time to myself, so it would drive me nuts to share a living space with someone again.

    Its perfectly normal for you to be single or if you want to separate yourself.

    My advice is only marry when you feel it should be the right time.

    Isnt the point of marriage is to be together?! If you dont want to be with someone dont be married and be a permanent bachelor. You can marry any time so why rush into something you arent ready for?

    I think more people would get along with each other if they weren’t in each other’s space all the time. I don’t get why more married people don’t give the idea a try.

    I doubt you’ll have that problem with that attitude.

    Well if you plan to have seperate houses with your future wife then might as well not get married. Haha

    Now that I'm 50 years old, and on the edge of the change I just don't really see the point of marriage, or even living with another person. I can't, however, live without a cat! If another person doesn't enjoy having animals around it's a straight up dealbreaker for me. I feel in my heart almost like I want to say to another person who doesn't like animals, "what the fuck makes you think I would want to live a life with your ass if I couldn't enjoy having companionship with a cat, and or dog(s)?" My life feels so empty when I don't have a pet! I'd 100% rather have an animal companion, and no romantic partner than a romantic partner, no animal companion. It's just so unnatural to me.

    Having animals, and by animals I mean especially a dog, or cat that lives in the house, is as important to me as believing in God, and sharing the same spirituality with a partner.
