Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
When I was single, I preferred to share an apartment. It was not only cheaper, but also safer. Now I have my own family, and it's obvious that I prefer to live only with my family.

I prefer to live alone but if the person is my best friend, then I can live with her because I usually feel lonely.
