Sometimes my SO does get in the way of my personal lifestyle and annoy me, but he more than makes up for this in other positive ways!

If you're talking about sexual fulfillment, a couple can do that without having to be subject to one another day in and day out.

I am not talking about sexual fulfillment in particular. I am talking about a true meeting of minds, companionship, being understood by him (we are both Aspie) preparing meals together, laughing at the same things, etc. I would not live with someone just for sex. I need much more than that.

Sounds like you have some meaningful intimacy going on. Cool stuff.

I would live a mundane existence all by myself, repeating the same routine over and over again. As long as I live in Japan, and no one does anything stupid to mess up my routine, I will be fine.

I'd like to live with a girl/boyfriend but I wouldn't be bothered if I lived alone.

I currently live alone, I however would like to live with my SO. With a bedroom for myself though.

i live in india where woman have lot of restriction...i can live alone but then it would be difficult to get certain things
done.
like when electric appliances stop working, or there is a short circuit problem, or i need to change the bulb etc
then my hubby comes handy
also he likes children and i cant tolerate children....so he takes care of your son..(it saves me lot of energy)

Also i cant earn a living...cant last anywhere in jobs
so he again comes handy and provides me financially.

If i was financially independent and could live alone
then i would have preferred to have a room mate or a pet
because i go into depression often and living alone can aggravate things

this situation of living with my SO suits me but i guess living with a Aspie
creates problems in his social status.
