I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I had made a different choice. For example, I just happened to be thinking about this woman I once dated. She wanted to be more serious, but I ended up breaking up with her.
There was a lot of things that I liked about her, but there was many more that gave me pause. Chief among them was how she spends money (and other people's money like mine at the time). It made me realize that we were not at all financially compatible.
Money isn't everything, but being financially healthy is important, and there's no way I could have accomplished that if I chose to stay with her. From time to time, I have to remind myself that there are worse things than loneliness....
We are the choices we make

In our area it's very popular to rent a basement room/suite or even share with roomies

Being single is far, far better than that.

That is such an interesting line of thought. I've noticed that as well, although with this particular woman, the disconnect is a bit more basic? She's into expensive spas, expensive restaurants, and expensive vacations. Her Facebook pictures are regularly updating pics of her in various places, spas, beaches, etc etc.
At first, I didn't mind it because I thought it was just a once in a while sort of thing. Eventually though, I noticed that this is a constant, regular sort of thing. Also, the numbers didn't add up from what I know about her.

Wow, that is so true. That's exactly how I felt when I was married, and of course, there was also the stress of trying to bail a sinking financial ship.
