Do you live alone or do you share?

I live alone. Well, that's not entirely true; I've got two cats. I've come to really enjoy my solo existence. I shared with my partner of fifteen years and it was an adjustment when we separated, it was tough.
But I got through it.
Can't really imagine sharing again.
What's the best and worse of living alone for you?

On days like today, when I feel gross and toxic, it's nice to hang out in my greasy cocoon and not have to worry about affecting/infecting another...

I would definitely prefer living with someone, though, under the right circumstances.

@lovelywarpedlemon What would those circumstances be? And yeah, greasy cocoons are nourishment for the soul.

@Cavedweller If he was equally desperate, maybe... hah! Not really desperate, but open and sincere... I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is possible, but it's what can only be described in short as "true love." Anything less seems a vain effort, and the pain of loss/absence is worse with each passing year.
