It's all about freedom to come and go when you want and do what you want. People need down time. Having to care for others outside of work can be stressful and exhausting. People need to be able to relax and just be themselves, even sleep instead of cleaning up after others. But, I think it was also important that she must have found a job that she loved that didn't stress her out too much. Stress is a killer!

Well, she won't get a boyfriend after saying that. Not that she ever wanted one.

Fwiw, this likely works both ways. High maintenance can be a problem for both genders imo.

She sounds happy so good for her!

Good for her!

I hope her nephew, who lived with her, got a special dispensation from the "not liking men" thing.

To each, his or her own!
