Woman Checks To Make Sure The Door Is Locked Every Night, Boyfriend Accuses Her Of Not Trusting Him
Although it's becoming more popular, living alone is not a lifestyle that everyone can relate to. It can help to be prepared for the experience by being aware of what to anticipate when you make the switch to living alone.
Even though you may have typically appreciated your alone time when you shared a home, living alone has its own unique challenges. There are so many things to consider and kiss too.
Is it the stress of finding the ideal place to live or you're worried about how you'll adjust to a new environment, the free food you'll miss, having to pay some bills, or the free food you'll miss? But then, you should only do this brave thing if you are mentally, physically, and financially prepared.
The OP in today's story lives alone for the past six years. During that period, she has developed certain security habits, one of which is checking to see if the door is locked.

Some will say that one of the best decisions they've ever made was deciding to live alone. It never gets boring because of independence, mental calmness, responsibility, learning, and unlearning.
Living alone can at first be jarring, especially if you're used to sharing a home with a spouse, partner, or other family members so it's no surprise that one develops security instincts.
