I had two divorces and took 10 years for myself. Loved the freedom to come and go at will. My son was older then and was not living at home.

However, when finances were tough (most of the time), I had female roommates who worked different hours than me. We were never around at the same time. Divided the refrigerator into sections for me and for them. (No fighting over who's food it was). Don't fall into the pit of finding another husband because of emotional need. It tends to happen too often without meaning to. Get to know your own needs better. Ask for financial or help at least for fixing the house. There are other choices and you will make them in time.

Keep away from potential problems you don't need right now.
