I've never wanted to share living space with partners. It's not about commitment, I would kill for the people I love but cohabiting seems much more difficult then murder. I'm very introverted and need a lot of space. I'm very bad at reading others so while I love being around people it takes a lot out of me. I can be difficult for others too as I sometimes get distressed about things that are completely normal to others.

I'm dating Rose (F) and Pepper (M) who have been living together for the last year.

I live in my family home. My (much) younger siblings moved in with our dad and his wife about 2 years ago. I planed to stay here only as long as my cat is alive (yeh, you can laugh). Dad is the owner of the house and isn't planning to sell it for now so its a win-win situation that I'm here and taking care of the lot.

Since Rose and Pepper will have to move somewhere in less then a year we've joked around about them moving here. It started as a joke but its not a completely unrealistic idea. Rose called me the other day and actually asked me to talk to my dad and see if he would be willing to rent the house (or part of it) to them.

While this is probably not gonna happen (for unrelated reasons) the idea of cohabiting took roots in my brain. While I've never wanted this, I realised that if there is anyone I would be comfortable sharing my everyday life with, its them. I've lived for years with my much younger siblings but we never got in each others way. I cooked but everyone ate in their own time and wherever they liked. Everyone was free to say "leave me alone" and that need would be respected. We were always very blunt and to the point. We took care of each other always and we are very close still but there was a lot of autonomy in our household and everyone was allowed to do their own thing as long as they were respectful of other peoples needs.

Me, Pepper and Rose travel a lot together and its always so comfortable. I know that living together permanently is not the same as spending a week in a camper but I feel like its something that could potentially work.

IDK its not gonna happen, but it makes me think. I like analysing stuff and this is worth analysing. Any other solo-poly people experienced or thought about cohabiting with someone?
