I was talking earlier with someone and our topic drifted to sharing apartments with somebody. She said that she once tried that and it was an experience she doesn't to be repeated.
In my case, I have done so since I was in university and so far, things are ok. There might be some issues raised but we just tend to ignore the trivial ones. 
There was a time when I shared the place with 4 other people and we had to do a lot of adjustments. How about you? Do you have a room mate? Do you share your place with somebody? Is it easy or difficult? What issues did you encounter and how did yu cope with it?

Hi diutay,
I have never shared a room with strangers like roomate but I have shared a room with my older sister and then she moved out so I had the bedroom all to my self, then I got married and bought our own house so now I am shareing it with my hubby.

Hi diutay, I am divorced and have my own house but would never think of having someone live with me! Mainly as there always seems to much hassle having to put up with all the things you don't like...also guess I am set in my ways now and it would be very difficult to let someone come in and invade my personal space...littleowl

I am actually living with 2 guys and a lot of people felt that me being the only girl living in the townhouse would make it awkward but it actually isn't. Its nice not to have the pety arguments about people borrowing clothes or having to clean up after each other. We respect each other enough to the point that we aren't going to go do something to ruin the living environment. Yeah there are times where they are rowdy and loud like most boys will be, but I enjoy it. It gives me times to experience new things because I'm around them most often.
Funny thing too is that I'm actually now dating one of the guys I'm living with. We each have our separate rooms and spaces and we both don't go all out with PDA around the other roommate. He actually kind of enjoys it because we aren't the type of couple that is going to always agree with each other, instead most of the time on stupid little arguments I'll side with the other roommate to annoy the boyfriend and everyone gets a kick out of it. Plus we still invite the other roommate on events we do so he doesn't feel like the third wheel.
People can live with other people - its just everyone needs to respect each other.
