When I last rented a house a single person, I had an extra bedroom just to escape my own bedroom. Sounds odd, I know. But then I would never share a living space without being married. Not because of morals or trying to get in to Liberty University, just because I liked my space intensely.
Now, I don't need a seperate bedroom. An occasional late night marathon of bad (in her words) TV while napping on the couch is fine. Of course, the baby changes things.
