“It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in years.”
This is what my friend Bruce said when I asked him how it was going with his housemate of five months. Bruce is in his late fifties, divorced with grown children. “I’d been bouncing about my big, two-story house for three years ever since the kids left, feeling lonely and sorry for myself. It’s really nice that someone else is also in the house. We don’t see each other very much. There’s enough house that we can have our own parts and we are both independent.”
