Yes, probably, with a lot of adjustments, I'm sure. How about I just live next door?

Yes, I have no doubt that I could. After I'd been divorced for 5 yrs. I lived with someone for a while - we were perfect for one another (he just didn't know it - HA!) The adjustment was very easy.
Then about 2 yrs. after that relationship ended, I remarried (unfortunately) & there really were no problems adjusting to his living with me - the adjustment was in trying to get accustomed to an asshole! (Sorry - but it really is the truth!)
I love being in a relationship & having someone around!
Now THAT would be PERFECT! Just have a path between the 2 homes :)
ty2bo, you made me laugh. Thank you
just...it's funny to me now too - wasn't so funny then!! Ha!
I think that next door or down the street is fine.
Being a lone for over 5 years I have acclimated myself to the fact that this may be the way it will be for the remainder of my life. Not that its all bad -- I can do what I want when I want and don't have to answer to any one. However, there are times when having some one around would be nice. Especially when a fuse blows in the middle of the night and I have to go to the spooky basement to fix the breaker. Seems there are all kinds of things lurking in the corners then!!
Another thing is the fact that I have MS. Do I want to burden some one else with this disease? Some how it just doesn't seem fair.
So it looks like I will have to be an old maid in my old age for the duration. Dang-blast it anyway.

A path between two houses might work, but if it's really, really, really right, I think one of those houses just might be empty. Home is where two people respect, honor, trust, support, and love one another... and give each other plenty of space... but always meet, warm beside each other in the same bed, at the end of the day. Yeah, I think I could do it... if if were really, really, really right. :)
I do believe that I will share a my life with someone again but I am not putting any limitations on it and I know I'm not ready right now. The need and desire comes and goes with the wind. It will happen when I get serious about looking for it.
I have lived alone for many more years than I was ever married or in a relationship. I am fine with living alone and it would be an adjustment to share living space with someone. However, having said that, I believe that if the right person came along and we both wanted to be together forever and ever, I could make the adjustment. I might have to have one room that is just for me though...lol
