I can't answer for Ken, of course, but personally I can think of a lot: You don't have to worry about fighting over the silliest things You can watch whatever you want to You don't answer to anyone for your comings and goings You have only your own messes to clean up You've got only your own laundry to do You don't have to worry about whether he likes your friends or not (actually that's not a limiting factor, but it's easier not to have to worry about it) You can cook whatever you want whenever you want and you can buy whatever food you like to eat without his fussing about it You don't have to worry about whether he likes cats or dogs (I actually dated a dog-hater once, never again) You can buy whatver you want (within your budget of course) without answering to his or her priorities You can set your own priorities etc., etc... I know this all sounds selfish, but I've settled into my independent way of living, and it'd take a lot for me to decide to change at this time of my life.
