I agree wholeheartedly with you and this Eric Rodli kid. Living with someone you like, or better yet, love, makes life richer in so many ways. But living with someone, no matter how much you like or love them, in close quarters, through a pandemic has its challenges, and a little separation, a sneak peak at the path not chosen, can be not just a healthy break, but a wonderful affirmation of the rightness of the path chosen. I think I'm a pretty delightful guy to be with, but I have noticed a certain hint of delight in my significant other's eye when I tell her I'm going to visit my mom. And an extra niceness in the hug and kiss when I come back. To quote the legendary Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?"
Always more fun to have a roommate from my POV..It is also nice to occasionally have some days by yourself...when one can leave a messy kitchen..not have to make up the bed each morning when you are just going to use it that night ( I still don't get that one) But, always better with more people..particularly with roommates who are "more" than just roommates
Living with someone has moved us both to the middle. I was extremely messy, and she was very neat. Now our venn diagram of behaviors intersects at a little bit messy, mostly neat, and very neat when company is coming. Aslos, when she goes on trips without me, I feel an awesome sense of freedom for approcimately 22 hours, and then I sulk.

living alone is all fun and games until you have to start setting traps to thwart a pair of dumb burglars
I have never lived alone so, for the first time in my life, I have nothing to say.
