And you're right - that ownership is really important, to be able to make your own decisions and carve out your own life. Without that, I'd be resentful, and that's no way to live.MeganBlandfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-23227080824887772882015-03-26T00:44:56.846+11:002015-03-26T00:44:56.846+11:00Life really is a series of moments.

I always wanted a partner and family but it wasn't to be. However - as you have noted, there's that sense of accomplishment... everything I have I earned myself. Everything I've done since my early 20s when I finished Uni I've done myself - my choices, my successes, my failures. My life! <br /><br /><br />My mother seems to have a lot of widowed friends and it's a bit scary - some have never really learned to take care of themselves / had responsibility for their own budget, their own income and bills etc.Deborahhttp://debbish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-17357598633243241072015-03-25T16:18:11.438+11:002015-03-25T16:18:11.438+11:00Kerri, I was 31 before I got married.

Independence can be wonderful, but it can also be lonely. Now I'm married, and I am at the beck and call of another human. I sit at my computer and Mrs F calls out, and says " Can you bring the washing in, and lock up "? When I go into the lounge, she's watching TV. Now I ask you, is that fair ? :-Dfender4evanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-48304335124935048232015-03-25T15:52:16.758+11:002015-03-25T15:52:16.758+11:00I lived alone for six years, paid off my apartment...I lived alone for six years, paid off my apartment single handedly and took many solo holidays. Now that I am married with kids I am so grateful that I had this opportunity. The same goes for my husband who lived overseas, paid off two homes and built a successful business on his own.
